You are a soul-inspired leader when your actions,
choices and words align with your soul’s purpose.
- Elisabeth Gortschacher, founder World Leadership Day
World Leadership Day is a global, grassroots initiative to inspire, connect and transform leadership thinking across generations, gender and cultures. It is a platform for new leadership to emerge and for disillusioned and burnt out leaders to reconnect with what is truly important and bring meaning, joy and passion back into their lives.
In 2009 we saw the World Leadership Day message spreading rapidly across the globe.
