Culture.
What is it? How do we create it? How do we live it?
How do we change it? How do we LEAD it?
Culture influences the way we view, experience, and engage with all aspects of our lives – personally and professionally. With shifting concerns and ever-changing work environments, how can you shape the cultures that surround you?
At Central Exchange, we’re all about equipping you to be your best self. That’s why we have hosted the Midwest Leadership Summit each and every year since 2003. Join us on April 18, 2023 as we celebrate 20 years with an all-day event full of development, connection and inspiration.
You will learn and explore the culture of work both now and into the future, with relevant take-aways no matter your role or career stage.
With shifting work environments, changing cultures, and our ever-present desire to lead fulfilling lives, we will spend the day engaging in meaningful conversations around the culture of work, how to create, live and lead the culture you desire, and how CULTURE STARTS WITH YOU.
