Leadership Orrville has its first session for 2023 class
Leadership Orrville kicked off Sept. 20 at LincWay Conference Room.
Leadership Orrville officially launched its latest group on Sept. 20 with its first full-day session at the LincWay Conference Room. Eighteen leaders from companies throughout the area came together to begin their journey of building a professional life.
The day started with Jesse Walker of Eagle Advisor Group leading the class to discover their “voice” so they can better understand themselves and others. The Five Voices program developed by GiANT Worldwide helps participants communicate more effectively with others while discovering ways to overcome challenges in the workplace.
David Lehman, former president and CEO at Mennonite Mutual Insurance and Wayne Savings Community Bank, guided the group through a discussion of the first few chapters of the book, “Learning Leadership,” by James Kouzes and Barry Posner.
The day wrapped up with Bruce Hendrick, founder and president of Building Trust, helping participants with ideas to develop trust and overcome fear, conflict and disunity when mistrust appears in the workplace.
Leadership Orrville is a nine-month initiative of the Orrville Area Chamber of Commerce and is sponsored by Farmers National Bank. This program furthers the OACC’s mission to connect people with the resources to support business growth and the broader community.
