Leadercast

A 10-WEEK VIRTUAL LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE
FOR CEOS, WOMEN & CORPORATE LEADERS

Presented by Driven to Thrive

There is a leadership deficit in our country and in the workplace. A recent Edelman “Trust” study indicates the lack of confidence in leadership from every level of society from government to small business, and the Leadercast: Positive Disruption Virtual Leadership Experience presented by DRIVEN TO THRIVE is our response to “BE THE CHANGE.” Our leaders need tools to transcend and reimagine this time in our history.

Today, we encourage companies to support initiatives that inspire leaders to grow, transform and thrive. We aspire to equip DRIVEN CEOs, Women, and D&I Leaders to serve the greater good and restore purpose-driven leadership back into the communities we live, work and play in.

The time is NOW! Let’s start the journey together and take COVID-19 as a positive disruptor that equips us to forge forward with vigor and intention.
