What Last Year's Attendees Say About the Summit

“This ILA conference surpassed my expectations, especially as it moved beyond race and gender to focus on the finer markers of diversity. The topics of interest as such are limitless, as there is so much that needs to be discussed. As a practitioner and academic in the field of Authentic Leadership and Leadership Coaching, I enthusiastically look forward to our next conference.” 

“The Summit was an amalgamation of the best speakers in the topics from across the globe. The sessions were insightful and speakers inspiring. Glad I got a chance to be a part of it and look forward to the next year.”

“The content was rich, and I met a number of new connections to further my learning and connection.”
