Trust & Inspire

July 23| Chicago, IL | 8:30 am – 3:00 pm | Lunch Included

A Trust & Inspire leader brings out the best in those they lead, as a matter of course. They model authentic, inclusive behavior with humility and courage. They’re not only trustworthy, they’re trusting, and their people deliver on that trust. They inspire others to willingly give their hearts and minds, not just to work, but to contribute meaningfully to something that matters, alongside leaders to whom they matter. People don’t just want to be motivated, they want to be inspired. Contrary to what most people believe, inspiring others is a learnable skill.
