In this episode of the Leader Lounge, Amy Taylor-Bianco and Nick Winnenberg sit down with Bas Baalmans from the University of Groningen and Dr. Jen Traxler from Ohio University’s Walter Center for Strategic Leadership to discuss a global consulting partnership connecting students across the U.S. and the Netherlands. Together, they explore how cross-cultural collaboration, real-world consulting projects, and emerging AI tools are reshaping how students learn, lead, and mentor one another.
The conversation dives into how AI can support coaching and learning without replacing human mentors, and why embracing technology while maintaining strong human relationships is key to preparing students for the future of work.
