What to read: Jacinda Ardern – A Different Kind of Power
A powerhouse that needs little introduction… former New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern is laying it all out in her new memoir, A Different Kind of Power that was released in the past week. Many of us have witnessed her lead the country, as the youngest PM in over 150 years, through challenging times and everything in between. This book promises to cover her journey, her extraordinary rise and what she wants to say to the next generation of leaders.
