Emma Wade-Smith, British Consul General to New York, named Chief Influencer

 

The Communications Board names Emma Wade-Smith, His Majesty’s Trade Commissioner for North America and Consul General in New York representing the United Kingdom, as a Chief Influencer.

Wade-Smith joins Chief Influencer’s Anthony Shop for a conversation on how effective leaders are more than just executives or diplomats; they are chief influencers who find ways to communicate their message internally and externally. She discusses how Royal visits provide opportunities to engage with senior governments and policy officials. According to Wade-Smith, each moment, such as the coronation or general events, is an important step for engaging with different audiences.

Later in the episode, she discusses the importance of traveling to promote the UK and how having a creative team helps in this endeavor. Additionally, Wade-Smith and Shop chat about how inspiration can come from unexpected places, not just direct peers in the world of diplomacy. They emphasize the importance of getting voices and seeking ideas from outside sources.
