On Tuesday, May 27, AmCham, in collaboration with the Latvian American Chamber of Commerce (LACC), successfully hosted an engaging virtual panel discussion titled "Championship in the Workplace." Held online via Zoom at 18:00 Riga time, the event brought together professionals from the U.S. and Europe for an insightful conversation about championing others in today’s evolving work environment.

Panelists explored key questions including the distinctions between champions, mentors, and sponsors, and offered practical strategies for both career development and fostering inclusive, high-performing teams.

Industry leaders representing real estate, finance, pharmaceuticals, and ICT shared cross-cultural perspectives, personal experiences, and actionable insights. Their contributions provided attendees with valuable takeaways on how to effectively champion others and cultivate a culture of empowerment.
