in many roles, and problem-solving and communication became my strongest assets.” Her own journey is one of


wide international experience, having been to boarding school at St. Johnsbury Academy, an independent school in Vermont in the US, and then living in Canada for 10 years during which she studied at Mount St Vincent University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She has also worked and travelled extensively in the US, Canada and the Caribbean. For executives considering global assignments, her experience highlights the importance of embracing unfamiliar opportunities. “I have often been handpicked


for roles rather than applying for jobs,” Fubler notes. “It is about bringing value, no matter the setting. For International Women’s Day, if I could offer advice to young women facing career blockages, I would say: stand out and stand up – put on your best boots and show up.” For executives and leaders,


the lesson is clear: embrace the unfamiliar, build strong partnerships, and lead with empathy. By navigating your career with curiosity and courage, you will not only succeed, but thrive.


THE POWER OF LIFELONG LEARNING In the second panel discussion, Mundy discussed the importance of taking opportunities and embracing challenges in international careers, while Williamson shared examples of authentic and inclusive leadership programmes and why they were so successful. Mundy provides consultancy


to many of the world’s leading school and education groups, independent


and international


schools, UK multi-academy trusts and international ministries of education on strategic planning, leadership, development and expansion. She also provides advice and guidance to start-up schools on brokering and securing investment,

selecting partnerships, school design and development, and is involved in a wide variety of high- net-worth education development projects worldwide. Williamson’s approach to


leadership development offers a powerful reminder that investing in talent is vital to help organisations build future leaders and be innovative. From fostering authenticity and creativity to breaking down traditional leadership stereotypes, ATG’s commitment to nurturing emerging leaders has delivered long-term value and changed the way the organisation leads its teams.


SPOTTING OPPORTUNITIES In the world of international education, navigating challenging environments often requires resilience, curiosity, and an open mind. Mundy is a seasoned educational consultant and early childhood specialist and has built her career by embracing opportunities that many might shy


away from. Her experiences offer powerful insights for executives and leaders, particularly those seeking to encourage greater diversity in international assignments. Mundy’s


journey wasn’t


meticulously planned. “I didn’t map out my career,” she admits. “I fell into opportunities.” But rather than resisting the unfamiliar, she leaned into it. Whether working in Nigeria or other regions perceived as difficult, her perspective remained grounded in a simple, empowering question: Why not me?


“ If I could offer advice to young women facing career blockages, I would say: stand out and stand up – put on your best boots and show up.”
