Inspire Initiative - Ft. Lauderdale Int'l Boat Show
Inspire Together. Inspire Authentically. Create Mental Toughness and Become Inspirational HEROs
Leaders are known to have tremendous vision….but great leaders possess the talent to Inspire action in others to support that vision.
Before we can Inspire others and become great leaders, we must first learn to fuel ourselves.
Join us for this year’s Inspire Initiative where we will re-energize you, fill your “tanks,” and provide networking with others in an interactive & fun environment. You will learn what it takes to become your own HERO filled with: Hope, self-Efficacy, Resilience, and Optimism.
