Leaders are being called to step up at this time
We are entering a new era, where we are redefining the world we want to live in where we can all thrive. It is an enormously challenging time for all of us, particularly leaders.
Our time calls for leaders who "put service over self", who are values-driven, who can discern systems and power, who can create possibility, and foster environments where people can be their best selves.
