Global Leadership Summit

The Global Leadership Summit is the largest leadership event in the world.

We believe that everyone wins when leadership gets better, and we are invested in raising inspired and equipped leaders in all spheres of life regardless of age, race or gender so they can drive transformation in their communities and around the world.

Today, GLS has been translated into 60+ languages, reaching over 120 countries, impacting more than one million people around the world. Across Africa, we are equipping and empowering leaders to raise the bar of excellence, sparking lasting impact and influence in businesses, churches, and communities.

Lead Where You Are

Leadership is not about titles or positions. It’s about influence, responsibility, and impact, right where you stand.

The world is waiting for leaders to rise. And in YOU lies the light and influence to spark change. Don’t wait for the perfect stage, role, or moment. Begin NOW. Lead in your family, workplace, community, church, and nation. Seize this moment and shine your leadership in your current space, your sphere of influence, your circle. Lean into your calling, unlock your potential, and make meaningful impact where it matters most, here and now.

Join a global movement of visionary leaders and changemakers. Be equipped. Be inspired.

Be empowered to Lead Where You Are.

Women Leaders Network (WLN)

It is a global movement of local cohorts dedicated to identifying, empowering, and equipping women in leadership for lasting impact. We desire to see women leading well with and alongside men, and fully use their God given leadership gifts, and by providing valuable resources and support, WLN releases women to lead with confidence and influence.

In Nigeria, WLN serves as a vibrant community where women leaders access leadership resources, connect with like-minded peers, and ignite personal and professional growth. Together, they reinvent themselves, strengthen their leadership capacity, and continue to shine as transformative voices within their spheres of influence.
