Carry the Torch

Leaders sometimes are so focused on negative behavior and results, getting stressed in the process, that they do not see the positive attributes of their teams, even though they're right in front of their eyes. Think of lost car keys, how many times were the keys right in front of you? You just didn’t see them. Think of the relief you felt when you found them. Leaders can find relief in their teams if they only look.

Brief Summary

It is our internal desire to impact the community, organizations and the people we interact with while leading them to positive outcomes.

• For some they understand the desire to mean control.
• For others they understand the desire as being too lofty an ideal, something they are not worthy of.
• Still for others they want to follow that desire to lead but don’t know how.

In this program Pegine leads participants on an interactive and entertaining journey of what true leadership is. She shares how true leadership is embodied in three torch symbols.

• The torch of the Statue of Liberty — offering hope and opportunity.
• The torch of the Olympics — offering global diversity, competition and camaraderie.
• The torch of the firefighter — offering images of searching, risk taking and brotherhood of man.
