YOUR IPSL FOUNDERS & CO-HOSTS

INGRID BERGMANN BIO

MARY GARDEN BIO
... a few words from your Co-Hosts, Ingrid Bergmann ​& Mary Garden
WHY DOES THE IPSL PROGRAM MATTER?   

"We believe that mentoring and storytelling are very powerful ways to learn anything.  Accelerating knowledge transfer, supporting succession planning and fine tuning the skills of current leaders in government are all outcomes of great mentoring. A mentor's stories and experiences can truly help a leader reduce the ambient anxiety that comes from not knowing what you don’t know. 

By building greater expertise, confidence and courage among public sector leaders, we believe they can have an even greater impact on the work that best serves our collective social and economic needs. 

These powerful conversations with those who have been there, are structured  to support public sector leaders as they face increasingly complex and sophisticated challenges. 

Everybody wins when public sector leaders are at their best. Period. Their work has a deep impact on all of us and is vitally important to support.     ~  Ingrid & Mary

“It is a rare opportunity to access such a well-structured series on leadership in the public service, not just the theory we see in typical programs, but the practical and exciting/gritty reality of what public service leadership is really about.”
