About the Session
In Session 1: Growing Brand & Influence, we explored how mission-driven leaders can intentionally strengthen their and their institution’s reputations, increase visibility, and clarify their unique value in a crowded world.
A strong and authentic brand isn’t about self-promotion – it’s about amplifying your mission. This session will provide practical insights, real-world examples, and guided discussion to help you lead with clarity and confidence.
Whether you’re leading a non-profit, ministry, academic institution, or values-driven business, you’ll leave with fresh perspective and practical next steps to grow your influence for lasting Kingdom impact.
“Clarity about who you are and what you’re called to do gives you the confidence to make a greater impact than you ever imagined.”
– Dr. Sherilyn Emberton
