Leading with Love 

Learning about ourselves and others can transform how we live, lead, and connect. In this interactive session, we’ll explore how self-awareness shapes leadership and discuss what it means to “lead with love” — for ourselves, our communities, and our planet.

Join us for a meaningful conversation on balancing growth, compassion, and responsibility in our everyday lives.
