2021 LEADERSHIP LEAGUE CITY Dear Leadership League City 2021 Applicant: A WORD FROM OUR MODERATOR Thank you for the opportunity to expand leadership in our community. Everyone influences others. Whenever your life connects with other people you exert some type of influence. As a participant in this program, our leadership influencers will learn influence that could be profound in the growth of themselves and others. These Influencers will be studying the content noted below. John Maxwell teaches, “Everything you do– at home, at work, or at play—has an impact on the lives around you.” We have fun in this program, but we study serious change maker content. I believe no matter what one’s goals are in life, they can achieve them faster, they can be more effective and the contribution they make can be longer lasting if they learn to develop and truly understand their influence and gifts to others. If you have any questions, let me know.
