Keynote Address
"Principles of Leadership: The Top Ten List"
Focused on leadership lessons learned (sometimes the hard way) from his 47 years of experience in education, Lonnie Burnett presents critical principles that are relevant to any Christian leader, in the communications field and beyond — all structured in an entertaining and interactive play on the Top Ten List from the classic David Letterman Show. He will share key insights including leading by example, how to distinguish between being a manager and a leader, how vision is transformed into action and how leaders truly inspire.
