The Christian Community Foundation of South Florida offers a unique Christian-based leadership development initiative, bringing together a new generation of local businessmen and business women to create leaders who cross vocational, denominational and racial lines to transform the minds and hearts of their companies, churches and communities.
The eight-month program, which runs from October to May, includes monthly half-day seminars featuring national and local speakers, class sessions, workshops, field trips and more. This initiative, with its successful track record of proven results, recently graduated its second class of participants, men and women of faith who are trained to serve the community with enhanced wisdom and passion.
Here's what some of our participants and graduates have to say about their Lifework Leadership experience:"Lifework Leadership clarified and confirmed my calling in the business world. The outstanding speakers and readings gave me substantial leadership depth, which was critical to my success when I took over Epcot theme park the day before September 11. Because of Lifework Leadership, I am more confident, focused and content in my professional and personal life."
-- Brad Rex, Chief Executive Officer, TBRG, LLC
“Lifework Leadership is a professional leadership development program that integrates values-based leadership into your life and work. It teaches leaders how to serve God, their business and their community. It helps individuals to really make a difference. Lifework Leadership helps business and professional leaders move from success to significance.”
-- W. Allen Morris, Chairman, President and CEO, The Allen Morris Company
"Lifework Leadership encourages me to look for creative ways to give back to my community. It also provides me with access to an engaging network of business and community leaders who are striving to do the same."
-- Bob Shafer, President, Robert J. Shafer & Associates, Inc.
"Lifework Leadership has impacted me personally and professionally. Even though I learned leadership skills as a fighter pilot in the U.S. Air Force, the leadership and life values covered in this class are refreshing and challenging. Every person in a position of leadership should put this at the top of their 'to do' list, regardless of age or level of responsibility."
-- Eddie M. King, Senior Vice President, Investments, UBS Financial Services
"When I first learned about Lifework Leadership, I was told it would be a great learning experience and I would be given tools to help me have a greater impact in my community. Now, I am transformed and empowered! The class topics reinforced my commitment to model Jesus' leadership style in my personal and professional life."
-- Victoria Villalba, President, Victoria & Associates Career Services, Inc.
“I started Lifework Leadership thinking I had already 'arrived' where God wanted me to be and quickly learned I was still in ‘preparation’. Much to my delight, the speakers were thought-provoking, the readings were engaging, and the class sessions were challenging. My Lifework Leadership experience enabled me to take my business to a higher level by stepping out in faith to accomplish all He's called me to do. God is building an army in the workplace and He is using Lifework Leadership to make that happen.”
-- Pat Pinera, ACC, Certified Christian Coach, Life and Leadership Coaching
“Lifework Leadership has helped broaden my perspective as a chaplain serving in a secular organization. It has helped me teach the biblical principles of service to men and women in the workplace. The guest speakers and interaction with other business and community leaders have challenged me to look deeper at my role as a husband, father, chaplain and friend. The monthly meetings have provided an exceptional opportunity to take a break from my normal routine and look at the 'bigger picture' when it comes to personal and professional matters of life. I look forward to having an even greater impact in my community as a result.”
-- Corwin Anthony, National Director Pro Ministry, Athletes in Action & Team Chaplain, Miami Dolphins, Ltd.
“As business leaders, we are accountable to the customer in the marketplace, to our peers in the workplace, to our family in the home, and ultimately to God. Lifework Leadership challenged me to put first things first, and focus on what will make the greatest impact on others for God's glory.”
-- Don Campion, President, Banyan Air Services
“Lifework Leadership helped me engage with other leaders, identify my calling, and develop a plan for personal and professional growth that will positively impact my life, my business and my community. I recommend it for any leader who is looking for leadership development through vision and values.”
-- Ron Shuffield, President & CEO, Esslinger, Wooten, Maxwell
"Lifework Leadership has been an exciting and eye-opening experience. I am still processing the
lessons and I am near some challenging changes. Bless you all for your faithfulness in this mission."
-- John Weiss, SMS, Inc.
"Wonderful, clear teaching with solid wisdom and practical application." -- Daniel Caldwell, Caldwell Studio
Bob Denison -- “Lifework Leadership of South Florida Changed My Life”
"I have always had a heart for the poor. When I 'grew-up,'I wanted to be the guy that looked out for the needy, the homeless, the forgotten. So after I graduated from college, got a job, and became a real grown-up I did that. When I’d hear about a place that was taking care of the needy, or the homeless, or the forgotten, I’d write a check. Once in a while I might actually go over to say hello to those my checks were helping. This worked out pretty well until I heard a story last January at Lifework Leadership of South Florida. Bob Lupton was speaking about changing communities and bringing hope to the forgotten parts of our cities, the parts that lots of us overlook..." Click here to read Bob's story.
