Leadership is not a position, it is a calling, and we have each been called to lead in business and in life.

As leaders, we need others we respect to help us test our ideas, share experiences and talk through issues.

"As leaders, we need others we respect to help us test our ideas, share experiences and talk through issues. Before last year’s summit, I had forgotten the incredible value of talking and listening to others facing similar issues, in a learning environment.  With the high quality people in attendance, the exchange of ideas and energy was amazing.  Unlike so many conferences full of people "selling" something, this was about leaders helping each other in a meaningful way and was supported by some great coaches.  I left the conference feeling that I was no longer alone and the issues I was facing were the same as those faced by others. I will be there again this year with my team, ready to participate and learn."

"In a world full of challenges it was very uplifting to attend the Leadership Summit and share perspectives and ideas with other individuals within small and large group discussions.  The openness in which individuals shared their thoughts was at a level which was uncommon and therefore was refreshing, beneficial and very real.   Leaving this type of event brought energy, clarity and focus as to the day-to-day reality of issues that we all deal with in our personal and business lives. Thank you to the organizers of this event!"

"As a person in a leadership role, my desire is to continually learn and improve my overall skills and leadership abilities. By investing the time and attending the 2010 Leadership Summit with a member of my team, I was able to not only listen to effective speakers discuss ways to be a better leader, but was able to interact with other attendees with the same goals in mind. My experiences at last years summit certainly left me with the desire to attend the 2011 event! I look forward to seeing you in May."

“As our organization recreates itself, we felt it was very important to increase our level of leadership education. Twelve of our key leaders / managers attended the Leadership Summit as a team.  Not only were we challenged as leaders personally, but we started to reflect on the larger questions of our leadership brand and why we exist.  One initiative that resulted was a monthly leadership learning session where our key leaders spend an hour together to learn and grow as leaders. The topic and speaker may change, but we are intentional about having some time together to improve as leaders.  I would recommend that leaders not only attend the Leadership Summit, but embrace these types of learning opportunities to attend as a group and grow your team.”

"I attended last year and left refreshed. I strongly encourage you and your entire leadership team to attend - you will leave rejuvenated for both your business as well as your personal life."

"Our entire leadership team attended the 2010 Summit and found it to be time well-spent.  Each of us took away insights and challenges, not only from the presenters and the panel discussion, but also from interactions with our peers.  As past paradigms and practices provide less direction and impact in helping us to serve our industry and each other, we eagerly anticipate the upcoming opportunity to add some fuel to our tanks."
