Faces of the Global Leadership Summit – Brazil

“This is my first Summit! What brought me is my desire to grow as a leader, more specifically my promotion to command a new post. My goal is to be a leader that influences people that will then in turn improve the world around them. Having God as the master of my life, I hope to bring greater impact to His Kingdom.  Above all else we are His instruments.

I learned so much at the Summit. What impacted me the most was the interwoven theme of failure.  Failure is not necessarily all bad.  In the face of human tragedy that may come upon me, I need to learn to what extent God led this failure to restructure my character and learn from it so that it raises me up to higher level then I was before. ”

“I expected to just come watch a couple days of lectures. What is impacting me is that each day there is something different, and each message builds on the other about my reality, truth, fears, frustrations, and at the same time, who I desire to be. I was surprised by how each lecture captured me more and more. The GLS has helped me with my self-analysis.

My biggest challenge is myself, recognizing my potential, my motivations and that I am responsible to take the name above all names, presenting him with Honor, glory and worship. The GLS calls me to greater responsibility and accountability to put all these learnings into practice and learn what I need to do for my people.  The GLS has helped me innovate, discovering new opportunities to reach my goals for the Kingdom.”
