A Leader’s Path:  Navigating Change and Crisis to Transformation and Growth


There comes a point in every leader’s lifetime, where he or she has to face their greatest challenge. That challenge is to answer one simple question: “As a leader what is my true destiny and purpose?” For George Spears, amidst the economic crisis of 2010 and with the future of his company at stake, he was faced with having to answer this question...

During this session, George takes participants on a journey, whereby sharing his personal experience coupled with a simple model for change, he walks you through the 4 phases everyone must go through to effect change and transformation. In the session you will:


  • Discover the one key emotion that prevents most people from achieving transformation

  • Learn to recognize the clues and signs for when success is most imminent

  • Receive key strategies for getting through “the last exam” to permanent change

  • Gain an awareness and appreciation for the “aftermath,” the mass effect your transformation has on those around you
