We are all, in our own unique way – leaders in our workplaces, our communities, and our homes. Leadership is about earning the trust of the people you serve, achieving results through others, and above all, making a difference. Leadership is the great challenge of life and is too important to be reduced to techniques or tools or titles. True leadership comes from the identity and integrity of the leader. It’s about who you are and how you live. Leadership is about presence, not position.

Take this opportunity to step back and gain a new perspective on leadership and life from one of Canada’s most respected voices on authentic leadership and organizational culture. Leave this thought- provoking and inspiring session with practical insights and strategies for developing your leadership capacity in all areas of your life. Based on David Irvine’s most recent book, The Other Everest: Navigating The Pathway To Authentic Leadership, this presentation won’t just move you, it will get you moving. Regardless of your role, you will be inspired by a new view of who you are as a leader and a fresh vision of leadership in today’s demanding public service.
