Quotables:

05:29 - "By understanding good governance practice we start to learn about how to communicate in a way that's going to land, that's going to be effective, and that's how we change the perception and transform the perception of what we do and how we do it."

13:00 - "One person rarely achieves change, it takes teams of people that are working together and they can achieve extraordinary things, but once you put a global team into the mix we can change the world."
