  • "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.
