At the School of System Change
Jacqueline is a facilitator on the School of System Change in Finance course.
"Systems change practice is about both the strategic and personal, about taking action and constantly learning. It gives me hope that even in the midst of much complexity and uncertainty, we can still lean into our capacity to reflect and take considered action."
