This dynamic event will equip attendees to evaluate their leadership decisions and empower them to exercise the power to lead without yielding to the pressures that weigh them down. Leadership requires courage and there is no better time than now.”
The speaker series has hosted over 2,000 attendees including c-suite executives, middle managers, entrepreneurs, community leaders, and those who strive to enhance their leadership skills. in addition to interactive presentations and exercises, the event will offer breakfast, networking, and giveaways.
