JOHN DICKSON
Director, Centre for Public Christianity; Sr. Minister, St. Andrews Anglican Church
Are prestigious titles and powerful positions prerequisites for impactful leadership? “You don’t need structural authority to be a leader of influence,” according to historian and social commentator John Dickson from Sydney, Australia. Dickson investigates the crucial role humility plays in a leader’s life – and its theological, historical, and practical implications. Learn how to navigate the complex intersection of leadership and humility, and how to lead through persuasion, example, and influence rather than positional authority.
MICHELLE RHEE

Sooner or later, every leader must lead change. Often, the toughest leadership challenges come from trying to change a church or institution from within. For the past 18 years, Michelle Rhee has stayed the course with a single objective: to give children the needed skills to compete in a changing world. Today, Rhee is CEO of StudentsFirst, a movement to transform public education. Learn from Rhee’s experiences as a change agent unafraid to challenge the status quo because of her vision for a better day ahead.
DR. HENRY CLOUD
Clinical Psychologist; Bestselling Author; Leadership Consultant
One-size-fits-all doesn’t work when it comes to managing the human side of an organization. People come in different personality types, some requiring a specific leadership approach. If you don’t know how to deal differently with different kinds of people – especially the difficult ones – they can derail your entire vision. Drawing on the wisdom of 20 years of coaching top business and church leaders, Dr. Cloud presents concepts that can expand your capacity for accurately assessing and managing each person on your team.
