Leading with Integrity and Purpose

During this installment of Leadership in Public Conversation, we heard about leadership from a global perspective from Claudio Orrego, Governor of the Santiago Metropolitan Region in Chile. Sharing about his experience attending Holy Cross schools growing up in Santiago, he realized at a young age that he wanted to serve. With degrees in Legal Sciences and Public Policy, his political career has spanned nearly 30 years, and he attributes both his longevity and impact to having a strong purpose. He also shared the importance of serving others as a primary motivation for public service. Finally, he stressed the importance of all people to lead with hope, peace, and justice – fighting for the human rights of others.

Claudio was the first speaker for this academic year in the Inspired Leadership Initiative Inspiring Conversations: Leadership In Public Conversation series. The conversation was held on campus during the annual ILI Signature Event, and was attended by ILI alumni, prospective ILI candidates and the broader campus community. At Notre Dame, ILI fellows join a diverse cohort of individuals and embark on a transformational experience, reflecting on where they’ve been, and designing their next chapter with intentionality. If you find yourself at a transition in your life, and want to approach it with intention and purpose, please visit ili.nd.edu to learn more.

This event was co-sponsored by the Inspired Leadership Initiative and Keough School of Global Affairs.
