This Langenberg Leadership Forum Breakfast features Dennis E. Lower, President and CEO of the Cortex Innovation Community. Mr. Lower’s topic is: The Contours of Ethical Leadership in a Secular World. This fascinating talk, from a very sought-after speaker, will include:
- Experiences that have shaped his faith journey.
- How religious dualism has unwittingly contributed to polarization in our society – the objectification and dismissal of the “Other”.
- The importance of being centered – internal validation, authenticity, and self-actualization.
- The importance of presence in leadership (and everything else) – “Be Here Now”.
- The care and feeding of your soul – embracing beauty, creativity, imagination, and humor to remain forever young.
