It is where wisdom is birthed and the ability to enjoy life begins. Our heart is where our deepest passions reside and most meaningful dreams originate. Our worship of God flows from the heart and it is where we carry the people we love. Our best performance tends to flow from the heart. Too many leaders only pay lip service to growing their hearts, developing character, and becoming more worthy leaders. And, as a result, an erosion of leadership impact occurs. The Leadership of the Heart training will strengthen the hearts of leaders. When this happens, everyone wins. In this training, the specific characteristics of authentic leadership are considered and each attendee will be aided in building a leadership style that begins on the inside of his or her life and works outward to the people they lead. Dan Webster is an author, teacher, communicator, mentor, and founder of Authentic Leadership, Inc. He has more than 30 years of experience working with leaders from all walks of life, including CEOs, executives, teachers, youth workers, pastors, and heads of non-profit organizations.
