During my research for this new series, I discovered a role I had previously been unaware of. My guest today was the first to hold this title and role, and we had a brilliant conversation about it. The audiogram below shares a fraction of our findings with you.Dr. Ashleigh Huffman, the former Chief of Sports Diplomacy at the U.S. Department of State, joined me to dissect the complex and often delicate role of sports as a tool for soft power in negotiations. She provided detailed case studies demonstrating the efficacy of various initiatives around the globe. The discussion was truly fascinating - and yes, I do use that word often, revealing the fine line between sports and diplomacy and showcasing the noble causes furthered by her work.Currently, Dr. Huffman serves as the Vice President of Global Engagement at the Institute for Sport and Social Justice. This episode is a must-listen to understand the significant impact of her contributions to real diplomacy through sports.Topics Covered:◽️Breakdown of Soft Power Diplomacy◽️Sports Diplomacy Portfolio◽️Is there a Path to the Neutralisation of Sports?◽️Sports Programmes/Countries Prioritised Based on Geopolitical Importance & Development Needs◽️Commercial Opportunities in Women's Sports◽️Thoughts on Boycotting◽️Genuine Positive Changes or Inadvertently Supporting Regimes◽️Should International Sports Organisations or Commercial Entities Address Human Rights Violations in Countries Hosting Events?◽️Paris 2024 Olympic Games (Expectations & Messages)◽️A view on the Minister of Sports Role◽️Sports in the Middle EastSo download⏳grab a cup of Bird & Blend Tea Co. - Sangria Tea ☕️& have a listen?Episode Sponsors: ◽️Delance Swiss Watches◽️Accxia - ??????'? ???????
