Highlights from Leadercast Marietta 2014

For the second year, we had the pleasure of hosting a live simulcast of Leadercast Marietta, a conference to positively change the way the world thinks about leadership. The day was filled with inspirational presentations by world-renowned leaders including Malcolm Gladwell, Bill McDermott, Laura Schroff, Henry Cloud, and Andy Stanley. Leaders from around the world gathered with eagerness to be motivated and learn how to make a positive influence on others. And one of our favorite parts was that together we raised funds for GRACEPOINT School, a Christian school specializing in serving students with dyslexia.
