It feels great to be back in my hometown of Bend, sharing what I’ve learned over the past decade working alongside some truly talented chefs.”

OSU-Cascades Speaker: Eboné Bell on Leadership and Inclusion

Join us for a morning with LEAD Summit’s keynote speaker, Eboné Bell.
Regardless of who we are or where we come from, each one of us possesses the potential to be a leader. Yes, you!
From starting as a campus leader to spearheading her own business, Eboné Bell has directly witnessed that leadership doesn’t always demand the traditionally taught skills and qualifications. Her firsthand experience highlights the truth that every one of us holds the potential to be intentional leaders. Through conversation and real-world examples, Eboné will share the key traits of intentional leadership, while focusing on important aspects such as uncovering and overcoming fear and recognizing the value of authenticity in leadership.
This program is designed to empower participants to enhance their knowledge and skills needed to embrace intentional leadership and positively impact their community. But most importantly, it serves as a reminder that intentional leadership extends beyond individual efforts and encompasses the collective leadership of all. It acknowledges that while leadership begins from within, it is not solely about “me” but rather about the leadership of “we.” Because when WE level up, we all feel empowered.
