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.

This truly was a life changing experience. I am normally skeptic so I do not say these things lightly. I feel an internal change of heart and it has made me remember how invigorating it is to be positive. I will make sure to spread the word around campus and give this conference the credit it deserves. Thank you so much for loving all of your attendees and meaning it with all your heart. I will make sure not to let you down and be great!

Thank you to Circle of Change for reigniting my passions and reminding me what my focus is and why I want to do what I want! This was such a great opportunity! I’m so thankful for these amazing connections I have made! Although some of us will not see each other for a long while, I know we all have impacted one another! I now feel empowered and more open to my goals and dreams.

I cannot put into words how much Circle of Change has changed my life. I’ve learned endless knowledge that I probably would’ve never unlocked if it weren’t for this opportunity. I am not only thankful for the speakers, but I am thankful for the fellow students as well!

I want to be able to take what I’ve learned here and bring this energy back to campus with me. To: create events that help others find who they are, advocate for those whose voices aren’t heard, and to create a culture centered around community and personal development.
