- Dr. Jo Vitale

“Whatever makes us afraid is actually an opportunity.”

Workshops

A Different Kind of Leadership: Getting people to follow you

“Leadership in its purest sense is to really influence people…towards a mission, a common good, or a goal you have set up. That’s good leadership.”

- Dr. Ted Kang

Fighting Human Trafficking Together

“You’ve got to meet people where they are. You’ve got to ask good questions. You’ve got to empathize…Help them think about it, and they’ll move themselves though the stages of change.”

- Vanessa Russell

How Your Past Informs Your Present…Then Looking Forward

“I truly believe that each of us has a reason that we’re supposed to be here on this earth.”

- Dr. Cheryl Ho

"It broadened my way of thinking..."

"The Summit … was a pivotal point for me to understand the bigger impact I could make in the sphere I am placed at. The speakers shared valuable life experiences as leaders in different areas of life so I can grasp why we are all called to be a leader in some way. It has since broadened my way of thinking at work and further discovered the true purpose of my calling in the workplace."
Fanny W.
“Being called into leadership in my workplace used to feel like a punishment…”

“Through the Summit, I was reminded to see my role as a leader in a new way, that the burdens are actually opportunities to get out in front, take a risk, learn to be more active and present, and bring those along with me. I am learning that success isn't necessarily defined by the tasks that are accomplished, but the investment and growth in the individuals and relationships, by who I become and who we become in journeying together. “
Wayland S.
"Helped me understand who I am, my values and beliefs..."

“The Summit through its leadership development has brought me one step closer to understand who I am, my values and beliefs, all through my life journey. Once I modeled it in my daily life to reach out to others, it brings me and those whom I journey with great joy, laughter, and tears.”
Susanti W.
