Smart Leadership: Four Simple Choices to Scale Your Impact
We're excited to announce our collaboration with Lead Every Day to offer an exclusive leadership experience at this year's conference. Our theme for the day, "Smart Leadership," is based on the recent book from the renowned leadership expert Mark Miller. He is the former Vice President of High-Performance Leadership at Chick-fil-A and co-founder of Lead Every Day.
​
Do you ever feel like you and your leaders are buried in busyness and confusing activity with accomplishment? It’s like swimming in leadership quicksand.
The answer lies in the choices you make: about everything from how you spend your time to the way you view the world. In the Smart Leadership training, you will discover the four research-based “smart choices” the best leaders make to scale their influence and results.
Attend Ignite Conference and learn how to get out of the quicksand.

WHAT ATTENDEES SAY
As a small business owner, a lot of our time and energy is spent on working inside the business, and this conference provides the opportunity to work on yourself and the business. Ignite 2024 was structured in a way that provided both visionary and practical applications that can be brought back into the workplace. I also enjoyed connecting with other Lee County leaders.

During the conference I was challenged to take a second look at myself as a leader. I was able to connect and network with other individuals in Lee County on how we could grow our leadership skills to help the community overall. I am thankful to have attended a conference that has only created positive change within myself to become the best I can be.
