The Yale Club New York City
8:30am – 5pm, Reception Following
On May 17, 2011 at the Yale Club in New York City there will be a gathering of diverse leaders from the business and the non-profit sectors.
They are being invited to become world leaders; to self identify and engage in a values-based leadership conversation that is bringing about a sustainable world infused with greater freedom and compassion.
The conversation will be stimulated by keynote speakers, small group conveners, and the stories that each leader brings to this extraordinary gathering. Participants will engage each other on questions such as:
- How am I to step forward as this kind of leader?
- Where do I fit in? What needs doing and how will I help to bring it about?
- What are the values I bring to the process?
- From where does my personal power and influence come?
The conference will end with a call for future collaboration and networking among leaders to be part of a connected values-based leadership movement.
