Another excellent weekend in the books for Cohort 15! Our leaders spent time with @liz_city learning about how to prioritize and lead strategically. Here's to thinking big, acting small, and learning fast!

Last weekend, we kicked off Executive Leadership Academy Cohort 15 with the biggest cohort yet! Participants learned alongside Dr. Ryan J. Smith., encouraging leaders to focus on their own stories and dive deeper, past the surface of leadership. #LeadershipMatters #LIONLeaders
