Through a mix of private in-person clinics and hybrid workshops, participants will explore the real-world impacts of accelerating forces such as AI, climate instability and displacement, while sharing practical strategies that companies can apply through their core business and value chains.
Designed for candid peer exchange rather than presentations, the Summit creates space for experienced practitioners to compare what is working, challenge assumptions, and leave with sharper insight, stronger relationships, and concrete ideas for action.

Seldom do hard-working professionals get time to unwind and re-charge amongst other motivated leaders and purpose-driven entrepreneurs.
This year, we are exploring the profound impact of Power and Influence in Responsible Leadership. We will examine how leaders can steward power ethically and use influence to serve rather than dominate. We will consider questions like:
Power and Responsibility: How can leaders navigate the dangers and responsibilities of power, ensuring it is used to empower rather than control?
Influence in a Changing World: What does leadership look like when influence matters more than authority—especially in digital spaces and across generations?
Future Leadership Models: How can collaboration, creativity, and faith reshape leadership for a world where traditional hierarchies are giving way to networks and shared purpose?
Expect to be challenged and inspired to rethink leadership, not as a pursuit of control, but as a calling to serve with wisdom and humility.
