Leaders are people who influence outcomes; in that sense, every one of us is a leader. Do you know your personal purpose for leadership? Are you taking your leadership role seriously? Have you decided what kind of leader you will be? Will your leadership make a difference?

Cheryl will offer her perspective on leadership in the workplace. She believes passionately that the world needs a new kind of leader, a leader that models both high competence and high character. For Christians, she sees a God-given purpose for work. And if He gives us such a purpose, we must act on it. Come be challenged to take your leadership to a higher level.
