In this inspirational episode Jessica Ward, Principal of Elmhurst Ballet School, talks about landing her dream job, as well as giving our listeners lots of excellent career advice. We talk about equality and diversity, the Black Lives Matter Movement and how Elmhurst students worked with Birmingham Royal Ballet's Brandon Lawrence producer of Bodies, an award-winning film calling out racism and hatred. Jessica talks about some of the people who have had the biggest influence on her career to date and the key leadership skills of constantly looking outwards and always being open to change and new ideas.
