Culinary Diplomacy: Leadership, Relationships, and Soft Power with Jeremiah Knight

Описание: Jeremiah Knight, Foreign Service Officer and author of “Diplomat in the Kitchen," joins Shelby and Belinda for a conversation on culinary diplomacy, leadership, and the power of soft influence.

Jeremiah shares how food and storytelling can build trust across cultures, create connection in complex environments, and serve as a form of soft power in professional life.

・Culinary diplomacy and leadership through hospitality
・Soft power, trust, and relationship-building across cultures
・Building a passion project over time (without rushing the process)
・The importance of a strong team and honest feedback
