The Global Leadership Summit: Get To Know Our Speakers (Part Two)

The Global Leadership Summit (GLS) is an annual event hosted live from Willow Creek Church outside of Chicago and is broadcast to satellite locations across the globe, including Warsaw, IN. 

This 2-day event brings together top-notch global leadership faculty, and C4One hosts the satellite location in Warsaw to bring this content to our city, community, and county.

Lead Where You Are

The theme of this year’s GLS event is “To Lead Where You Are”. That doesn’t mean being a CEO, manager, or certain high-ranking title, but it means you recognize your unique purpose and your desire to impact your surrounding community. 

We want to connect curious, growth-minded people together to ignite transformation, wherever they are and in whatever they do. GLS is designed to do just that: bringing men and women from various industries and backgrounds to develop their insight and skills to drive a positive influence on the world around them. 

At GLS, you will experience actionable content from a diverse faculty to help cast your vision for a better future.
