SESSION DESCRIPTIONS

Leader Trek, Steven Fulmer
Space, that distance between our head and our heart - and our heart and others - the final frontier. Join us on these, the voyages of this enterprise we call LEADERSHIP, and its sister-ship HUMANITY. Its endless mission: to explore strange new relationships, to seek out hope, possibility and new forms of communication, and to boldly go where too few leaders have truly dared to go before: Deep into the stars to explore the planets of connection, trust, & accountability. Distant lands we can see with the naked eye, but all too often seem out of reach. 

The first 50 registrants will receive a copy of Steven's book "Leadership Just Got Personal - Stories & Thoughts About Life & Leadership"
The quintessential question of the ages: Are leaders born or made?
Yes! Each of us is born with the innate gifts of leadership. We’re all naturally capable of inspiring ourselves and others to dream more, learn more and do more. But many of us have come to believe that we need permission to step into this greatness known as leadership. We don’t! In this powerful compilation of stories and essays, you’ll learn new skills and profound lessons to draw out your innate leadership.
Whether you are a leader today, an aspiring leader of tomorrow or simply ready to step up and take charge of your life, your way, today, this book is for you.

Best Practices Professional Roundtable Exchange
Stick around for our annual interactive roundtable discussion session! We’ve designed this session to promote and encourage networking amongst your peers and engage in lively informal discussion about topics that are keeping you up at night. Come share your frustrations, solve problems, and glean practical advice and best practices from those in your field. This is your opportunity to interact one-on-one with peers to make sure you walk away with the answers you are seeking.

Here’s how it works! Each table will have a sign indicating the roundtable topic being covered. Attendees will pick a topic of interest and sit down at the table. The table moderator will provide a quick introduction and overview of the topic, and then open the floor for Q&A. This is a “rapid fire” session and every 20 minutes we will ask attendees to move to another topic table while the moderator welcomes a new set of attendees.

Don’t forget to bring your business cards! All attendees are encouraged to exchange business cards to others who they can call on for help.
