GLSHEADER2014

The Willow Creek Association 2014 Global Leadership Summit will run in South Africa at 11 venues from October 10.

The consistently inspiring two-day leadership training event which is held in 105 countries celebrates its 20th anniversary this year — and its 10th anniversary in South Africa!

MEET THE SPEAKERS — TYLER PERRY

Filmmaker, Actor and Philanthropist

Born into poverty and raised in a household scarred by abuse, Tyler fought from a young age to find the strength, faith and perseverance that would later form foundations of his work
Recipient of the 2004 Black Business Professionals’ Entrepreneur of the Year award, he leads a massively successful entertainment empire, employing 350 people from his 30-acre Atlanta studio, with five sound stages and a post-production facility
As a part of his inspiring body of work, including the now-legendary Madea franchise, Tyler has produced, written, and directed a dozen stage plays, five TV series, and 15+ feature films—staring in several of these projects, as well as recently completing a part in David Fincher’s next film, Gone Girl
Perry hasn’t forgotten about those who helped him along the way, and is intimately involved in supporting charities focused on civil rights, homelessness, and rebuilding the lives of disaster survivors in New Orleans and Haiti

In future weekly GLS 2014 Updates we will introduce each of the speakers individually and keep you updated about the latest GLS news and announcements.
