The Brink: How Great Leadership is Invented

“Leadership is not promised, born, or inherited.  It is chosen, practiced and created.”  As coaches leadership is integral to our work.  Where can you grow as a leader?  How can you inspire leadership in others? Join AC in welcoming our own Mark Hunter to speak on leadership and the release of his new book The Brink: How Great Leadership is Invented. After climbing mount Kilimanjaro in 1999 Mark was inspired by how this experience was confronting in ways that were unanticipated.  The metaphor of the climbing a mountain offers us a great opportunity to understand the journey of being a great leader.

Mark will speak on:
– The urgency for leadership, “Today’s world is suffering from a gap in leadership.”
– Choosing and inventing leadership in the moment
– Being committed to leadership and adopting an attitude of “doing whatever it takes to get there”
