LEADER LUNCH WITH DR. LIA ERICKSON

| Lia is flat out amazing - how the heck did I get her to marry me? |
One of the highlights every year is to get my wife Lia in front of the Fellows. She is amazing. Her story is amazing. And she is so inspiring. I LOVE HER!!!!! So do the Fellows!

The weekend wasn't all fun and games. In fact, over the weekend we cover some of the most intense content of the year. We invite our Fellows to really go there with themselves and with each other.
This group embraced the challenge. Wow! What a privilege to watch lives transforming right before your eyes.
YES!
