Community Invitation: The Transformational Leadership Summit Follow-up
The Summit surpassed expectations for all those that participated, and today, they are inviting the community out to help take part in creating a final structure
Beginning August 17 - August 19, Bed-Stuy residents, business owners and community and civic leaders endeavored on a three-day journey to understanding and harnessing the power within them toward building a better self, family and community.
They took part in The Transformational Leadership Summit at the Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Plaza. Led by executive coach Herma Schmitz, the course served as part-self actualization/part leadership academy focusing on how we see ourselves as individuals, our role world, and the subsequent actions we take because of those views.
“The transformation happens regardless of their age, regardless of their color, regardless of their education, regardless of their social-economic situation," said Schmitz. "Each person literally finds a new level of confidence in themselves and what’s possible for them in their lives. And that extends out to the community.”
