Tomorrow (Thursday) and Friday, I’ll be live blogging (and Tweeting) the Willow Creek Global Leadership Summit for the 5th year in a row. This is one of the highlights of my year as I get to hear from some of the best leaders in the world. And even better – I get to experience it and discuss it with other leaders from my church.
Every year the Summit’s speakers are diverse in background, enthicity, gender and areas of expertise, leading in churches, businesses, governments, and non-profits. This year is no different. Here’s the line-up:
- Bill Hybels – Founder and Senior Pastor Willow Creek Community Church – South Barrington, IL
- Howard Schultz – Chairman, CEO, and President Starbucks
- Erwin McManus – Activist; Filmmaker; Innovator and Cultural Architect, Mosaic, L.A.
