According to John Maxwell, “Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.” Dan Cathy’s example of principled leadership in the face of vitriolic attacks has certainly influenced my outlook on life. He’s shown me how a dedicated Christian can not only build a successful business, but also maintain a Christian witness during a time of intense testing.
That’s why I was so excited to see that Mr. Cathy will be coming to Indiana this fall! He will be speaking at this year’s America’s Best Hope: Building Godly Leaders conference.
This conference will run from 8AM to 3PM on Friday, November 14th, 2014 at Northview Church (12900 Hazel Dell Pkwy., Carmel). Registration is $49.

- Dan Cathy | Chairman, President, and CEO of Chick-fil-A

- David A. R. White | Actor in and Producer of God’s Not Dead
- Russ Crosson | President and CEO of Ronald Blue & Co.

Here’s the description from the event website:
OUR CAREERS DO NOT DEFINE US.
But our work does give us a great platform for serving God and serving others.
This annual event is about cultivating godly leaders in the marketplace – men and women hungry to grow and lead spiritually, professionally and personally. Our line-up of world class speakers will address what defines a godly leader and how to practically integrate faith and vocation. Come ready to be inspired and catalyzed to join a movement of marketplace leaders leveraging their platforms for the advancement of the Kingdom.
I’m looking forward to hearing these speakers, and meeting others who want to live out their faith at work! When I registered this morning, the ground floor tickets had already sold out! For more information or to reserve your seat, visit the event website today!
