This session saw a hugely interesting debate on the ethical parameters around AI and when/if we need to feel guilty about using it. This podcast between vocL voice, Danielle Crompton and her mentor, Advita Patel, Founder & Director of CommsRebel will be available to listen to soon.

About us
vocL works with the next generation of business leaders to help them find their voice and enabling them to have a much more positive impact on society. Covid, Brexit, disruptive technology, the climate emergency: this is a time of change and of crisis. It is a time of challenges to which business - with its expertise and experience, its long-term perspective and its resources - must be a critical part of the answer. The time is thus ripe for vocL. At vocL, we believe business has lost its voice. Whether at COP26, during the negotiation of vital new trade deals, or in the debate over business ethics, the business voice has seemed strangely quiet or even to be absent altogether. At the same time, we believe there is an urgent need, within business, for more thoughtful, truthful, inclusive, values-driven and socially responsible leadership. Finally, we believe it is critical, as never before, for the business leaders of today and of tomorrow - business’s next generation leaders - to have a bigger, freer, more respected and more confident voice in the national conversation; and that our often overly fractious debates would be more balanced and our society fairer and less divided if they did.

What an incredible evening! A huge thank you to everyone who attended our networking event last night. The engagement and energy made the evening unforgettable. Special thanks to our panellists (Juergen Maier CBE FRS FREng, Laura Durrant, Will Snell, Justine Ball, William Readshaw, Danielle Crompton) for sharing their invaluable insights, and to Ampa - Legal & Professional Services for graciously hosting us in such a fantastic space. The panel discussion focused on the thought-provoking question: "Will the new push for growth provide better opportunities for people of all backgrounds?" Key takeaways from the discussion included: - What is growth, and how should we measure it? It’s time to move beyond traditional measures like GDP and embrace more holistic metrics. - Collaboration is essential. Achieving meaningful growth requires businesses, policymakers, and communities to work together. - Opportunities for all. We need to address systemic barriers and reframe certain aspects. For example, the perception of apprenticeships to make them more accessible and valued in society. - Tackling inequality is crucial. Inequality stifles growth and limits opportunities for individuals and businesses alike. These events are vital for sparking, sustaining, and amplifying conversations that lead to action and shape the future. Together, we can empower the next generation of responsible business leaders to drive positive change. Let’s keep the momentum going!

In this blog, vocL Voice, Danielle Crompton, challenges the idea that true leadership only starts with a title or milestone, pointing out that many of us have been leading in small but significant ways throughout our lives.
