Speakers

Ask any great leader how to reach the top and they’ll tell you it starts with a journey down the road not taken, followed by a lifetime of achievement, hard work, dedication, and a fair share of lessons learned

the hard way.

 

That’s the spirit behind Refresh Leadership Live.

 

Join us for this unique opportunity to hear a distinguished panel of speakers share their perspectives on leadership. From academia to athletics, these speakers have more than proven that they understand what it takes to be a great leader.
