This year’s LECTURE, inspired by Dr. Eric Johnson’s transformative work, The Origin of Strength, invites participants to explore the power of purposeful leadership and inspired action in our everyday lives. Leading with Purpose: Transformational Leadership and Inspired Action calls upon us to reflect on how we can embody strength, resilience, and vision in our roles, right where we are. The conference challenges you to rethink leadership—not as a distant, hierarchical construct, but as an intimate, actionable force within our communities, workplaces, and homes.
