The Right Hand: In Conversation with Phoebe Saintilan-Stocks and Elliot Stein

Join us for an evening with Phoebe Saintilan-Stocks in conversation with Elliot Stein, to celebrate Phoebe’s new book The Right Hand.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be in the highest corridors of power, this is your all-access pass. In The Right Hand, Missing Perspectives founder Phoebe Saintilan-Stocks sits down with the chiefs of staff to some of the most defining presidents and prime ministers of our time, ranging from Jacinda Ardern, Kamala Harris and John Howard to Nelson Mandela, Tony Blair and Julia Gillard.
