Empowering Students to Speak Up & Save Lives

The Global Leadership Network’s premier two-day leadership event of the year has been held annually in August for the last 25+ years. Recognized as one of the largest leadership events of its kind, The Global Leadership Summit (GLS) brings leaders and aspiring leaders together from around the world. Through the GLS, many of these leaders gain something far more than leadership insights—they gain a new understanding for what God is inviting them to do through their lives—they discover the spark within them waiting to be fanned to flame.

I sit there and think, They’re talking directly to me.

This is what happened when superintendent, Dr. Lily DeBlieux attended the GLS. “The Summit has been a great source of encouragement and support,” said Lily. “At the Summit, when I listen to the speakers tell their stories about overcoming obstacles, strengthening leadership, and reaching out to others, I sit there and think, They’re talking directly to me.”

With a heart for students in her district and watching the tough situations they go through on a regular basis, Lily decided to connect with others to start what is now called Speak Up, Stand Up, Save a Life, which supports students through depression, suicide, grief, abuse, and bullying.

"Through the Summit, I’ve met some amazing people, who’ve become an important part of this movement for students,” said Lily. “Go to the Summit for your growth, because what you bring back to your company or district is amazing. You’re going to be uplifted and re-energized in your role.”

Self-Care Should Not Be Selfish: Why Leaders Thrive When They Look Beyond Themselves

Sophia’s story illustrates how modern self-care culture, with its heavy focus on individual optimization, is actually deepening loneliness and exhaustion among leaders. Research shows that genuine well-being is strengthened not by withdrawing from others, but by meaningful connection and contributing to the lives of those around us.

Does your team have a microculture?

A microculture is a group within your organization that has a distinct personality. These groups might form naturally based on shared interests or backgrounds, or they might be formal work teams that develop their own norms and dynamics.
