The Circle of Change Virtual Leadership Experience is a six-day leadership experience that will span for two weekends in the Fall, with the specific purpose of helping diverse groups of students and professionals from all across the country discover the leader from within, develop the leadership and professional skills necessary to attain career leadership success, and the inspiration and confidence needed to make a positive impact in their community, nation, and world!
During this six-day virtual leadership experience, diverse groups of students and professionals will not only have the opportunity to hear from five dynamic keynote speakers, engage in seven customized empowerment leadership sessions with certified leadership coaches, but they will be able to participate in eight panel sessions with professionals from top tier companies and organizations from all across the world, six career development sessions with career development experts, and a variety of other programs that provide great value to students and professionals that desire to take their professional and leadership skill sets to the next level.
With a vision and mission to continue providing diverse groups of students from all across the country with a transformational leadership experience that will enable them to attain career leadership success, we have developed ten specific things that colleges and universities can expect their students to receive when they register for the Circle of Change Virtual Leadership Conference.

I now feel empowered and more open to my goals and dreams.
