Craig Groeschel back at GLS to help you upgrade your leadership

By Global Leadership Network

If you’ve been to The Global Leadership Summit before, Craig Groeschel is a very recognisable name, having been in the GLS premier faculty lineup  seven times, with this year being his 8th!

Officially appointed as a champion of the GLS in 2019 he has partnered with the Global Leadership network in travelling the world to build leaders in every sector. He will be inspiring delegates at in-person GLS gatherings across South Africa and online GLS events in October and November.

Globally recognised as a leader of leaders, Craig is the founder and senior pastor of Life.Church, rated the #1 place to work in the US in 2020 for small and mid-size companies by Glassdoor. Known for their missional approach to leveraging the latest technology, Life.Church is the innovative creator of the YouVersion Bible App — downloaded in every country worldwide.

Highlighting his church’s ability to pivot and embrace opportunity in the face of the unexpected, in 2020, Life.Church provided and continues to provide free tools, via their Church Online Platform, to thousands of churches who quickly transitioned to a virtual church experience in the wake of the global health pandemic.

There is so much to learn from Groeschel, especially on how to change your mindset, embrace opportunity and lead through difficult seasons.

The countless nuggets of leadership wisdom he’s shared over the years have helped shape organisations, churches and individuals for the better.
