Mark Brzezinski & Olga Leonowicz on Partnership

Описание: Love and diplomacy rarely go together in the public imagination — yet for former U.S. Ambassador to Poland Mark Brzezinski and social activist Olga Leonowicz, partnership became a living model of modern diplomacy. Their new book “Partnership” explores how a private relationship can reshape public life, diplomacy and leadership in a time of war and polarization.

In this in-depth conversation, we talk about:
– How love, trust and equality can make a diplomatic couple more effective than any one “strong leader”
– What partnership means for the U.S.–Poland relationship at a time of Russia’s war against Ukraine and NATO’s eastern flank under pressure
– Why empathy and mental health diplomacy became a signature theme of the U.S. mission in Poland, especially for young people and refugees
– Everyday sexism, protocol and the “elephant in the room” for women in public life — and why women’s empowerment is now a core part of foreign policy worldwide
– How to deal with disinformation, Russian hybrid warfare and democratic backsliding while still investing in soft power, dialogue and bridge-building

If you’re interested in modern diplomacy, gender equality, mental health, U.S.–Poland relations and the war in Ukraine, this episode is for you
