  • I am looking forward to attending and learning more about what transformational leaders are thinking and to look at what my next steps are in challenging myself. This is timely in that our world needs new thought and ideas on how to handle what we are facing- we can't not do things like we have in the past.

  • People look to their leaders for not only guidance and inspiration on specific projects and goals but more importantly, and sometimes in subtle ways, guidance and inspiration in the bigger pictures of their lives and service to their communities and the world. Great leaders take on responsibility to maximize the skills, connections, and abundances of their followers and teammates. This symposium brings guidance and inspiration and connection to such leaders, or ones to aspire to truly become great.
