Each year I enjoy attending the Global Leadership Summit that is held virtually for leaders across the world! There were many inspirational and useful talks to help focus you mindset, energy and attention on what matters. With COVID still creating uncertainty, stress and challenges for many, leaders must continue to feed their minds with what will support them to stay positive, in motion and alert to adjustments that would be wise. The Summit will be held again next year if you want to check it out.

The cost $129 which is very inexpensive for 2 days of great leadership training.)
