The Local Applause Luncheon Featured Speaker:

Your Leadership Legacy: Designing a Life That Endures

Presented by GinaMaria Jerome

Leadership isn’t just about running companies or big organizations. Leadership is about relationships, the affirming effect you have on others, and how you get things done through your positive interactions with people. Legacies are about leading a life of intention and fulfilling your purpose. Legacies characterize the lasting impression on those near you and those you will leave behind. What kind of leadership legacy are you creating? George Washington left a leadership legacy that has touched the lives of Americans for over 200 years. Susan B. Anthony’s legacy has influenced women for the last century. Bill Gates created a foundation to start achieving his legacy today.

If you care about shaping the future – yours and those you love – then begin by examining the leadership legacy you are building now. Begin by knowing that a leadership legacy is built step by step, moment by moment, relationship by relationship. Begin creating that future now and by building your moments today. Join us for this revealing and insightful journey on how to make a real difference in your life and in the lives of the people you love by designing a leadership legacy that endures.
