POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

An inspiring evening at @irelandembusa last week with Norah O’Donnell, discussing @wethewomen and the trailblazing women whose contributions helped define America, despite too often being overlooked by history.

Thanks a million to all who joined us, and to @coachkemps and @instituteforeducation for their partnership in bringing this conversation to life.

とても嬉しい記事を書いて下さいました✨🤩🐥

ワシントンDCの外交・社交コミュニティで開催された、Coach Kathy Kemper, Institute for Education(IFE)創立者主催11回目のサマーソーシャル♪💕💕🌻

今回のFireside Chatでは、長年ワシントンの外交・社交の世界で仕事をしてきた中で感じてきたこと、そして拙著『世界一流の社交術』に込めた思いについて、ベルギー🇧🇪のGwenda DeMoorさんの進行でお話ししました。

記事の中でも紹介されているのが、私達プロトコール専門家がよくお話しする「duck」アヒル🐥のたとえ。

アヒルは水面上では優雅に静かに見えていても、水面下では一生懸命に足を動かしている〜🐥　

社交も同じで、自然に見える振る舞いの裏には、相手への配慮や準備、そして見えない努力があります。

そして、私が何より大切にしているのは、

「茶道の「一期一会」の心。それは、目の前の人との出会いを「この瞬間、この人としか作れない大切な時間」として向き合うこと。私がDCの外交・社交の世界で大切にしてきたことを、Fireside Chatでお話ししました。

今回の記事には、そんな私の「社交」に対する思いを、とても素敵にまとめていただきました。

Janet Donovanさん、🌸Sakuraちゃん、素晴らしい記事をありがとうございました。

ぜひ読んでいただけたら嬉しいです♡

Lovely to join the @euintheus Ambassador, @coachkemps, and IFE for a Future of AI Dinner on “Making AI Usable: Competitive AI Innovation on Both Sides of the Atlantic.”

The transatlantic relationship has long been a cornerstone of innovation and shared prosperity. As AI reshapes our economies, institutions, and societies, that partnership is becoming even more important. The future of trustworthy, competitive AI will depend on close collaboration across both sides of the Atlantic.

It was especially fitting that the Estonian Ambassador was in attendance. Estonia is featured as a case study in my upcoming book, based on extensive collaboration with the country’s Chief AI Officer and its remarkable journey in digital government and AI leadership.

If it's summer, it's pickleball! ☀️

The @instituteforeducation and @coachkemps recently hosted two pickleball round robin events at Congressional Country Club, sending off two tenured ambassadors in Washington to their next posts: Estonian Ambassador Kristjan Prikk and Luxembourg Ambassador Nicole Bintner-Bakshian. The ambassadors were joined by their diplomatic colleagues for the friendly game and lunch on the terrace.

Hustling to fit in all of life’s joys — a child’s graduation, lunch with a new friend, packing for a trip — before boarding a flight. This is life when business meets Peak Week!

A full circle moment.

Almost 10 years ago, I started at the Institute for Education working behind the scenes on conversations like this. This Monday, I had the chance to moderate our panel on democratizing the cloud with two incredible leaders @cmesidor, Executive Director of Blockchain Foundation, and 3x founder and CEO of Reality Network Wyatt Meldman-Floch.

So proud of the work @instituteforeducation continues to do bringing people together across sectors at a moment when these conversations matter more than ever.

Most of all, grateful to @coachkemps for her mentorship and belief in me over the past decade.

We have much more exciting programming to come this year as we continue to celebrate our 35th Anniversary here at IFE!
