At the Coalface
At the Coalface is a series of conversations hosted by Philippe Rose.
Philippe's guests share stories about their life beyond the headlines of international affairs. They look for lessons learned about making an impact in the world as practitioners in diplomacy, international organisations, NGOs, journalism and the private sector.
Many of Philippe's guests are connected by their common experience of taking time away from work to attend Fletcher School's Global Master of Arts Programme.

Arthur Sculley - A story, Bermuda to Fletcher, and global lessons in leadership
In this episode I speak with Arthur Sculley. Arthur shares his amazing journey, growing up between Long Island and Bermuda, his curiosity about the world inspired by his grandfather’s eclectic life stories. Arthur went to Southeast Asia at the time of the Vietnam war and managed to explore the region in his down time - he got hooked by the people and the energy he encountered. He had an opportunity to work in Hong Kong in the 1970s, and to have front row seat on the astounding economic transformation in the decades that followed. I’m fascinated by Arthur’s approach to life. He’s endlessly curious, a passionate believer in the power of networks. His entrepreneurial mind never stops. And he cleverly ensures the light always shine on others, winning friends for life. There are so many nuggets of wisdom here, I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
