DESIGN

At the Leader Development Consultation 2017, leaders from many nations will gather for prayer, learning, networking, collaboration and encouragement. We’re gathering thought leaders and field experts to tackle the most critical and timely issues for those who work in leader development.

This is not a traditional “leadership conference.” The Leader Development Consultation focuses on leader development and is highly interactive and collaborative; not just a series of one-way presentations.
