Leadership and Service: A Quote to Remember

One of the night’s most powerful moments came when keynote speaker Justin Forsett shared his thoughts on leadership. His statement, “If you are too BIG to Serve, then you are too small to lead,” resonated deeply with the audience.

Forsett’s words highlighted the essence of the evening – recognizing the importance of service, empathy, and leadership in every role. It was a call to action for businesses to prioritize serving others, fostering a culture where every employee has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their circumstances.
