Rebel Book Club New York City x LEADING

Welcome to the RBC New York event, where we'll be diving into the theme of Leading, through Jacinda Ardern's "A Different Kind of Power".

More about A Different Kind of Power

Jacinda Ardern grew up the daughter of a police officer in small-town New Zealand, but as the 40th Prime Minister of her country, she became a global icon for her empathetic leadership that put people first. She guided her country through unprecedented challenges, from the 2019 Christchurch mosque attacks to a global pandemic. She advanced visionary policies to address climate change and child poverty. And all while juggling first-time motherhood in the public eye. This is the inspiring story of how a Mormon girl plagued by self-doubt changed our assumptions of what a leader can be.

Why we chose it: “Wonderful. As clear-eyed and luminous a depiction of childhood and family life as it is a brilliant insight into the making of a politician, a mother and a head of state." - Bill Bailey

Delicious drinks are included, as well as engaging storytelling and space for conversations and sharing your own journeys across countries and continents.
