Leadership Lessons I Learned From My Children
A Fun Evening of Deconstructing and Reconstructing Leadership. Leadership Development is a multi-billion-dollar industry worldwide – and most of those billions are largely or entirely wasted. The word “leadership” is so overused, it is at risk of becoming a cliché.
In this workshop, we will:
- Take a 30,000-foot overview
- Uncover the missing piece of the puzzle that more than any other cause, is at the root of those billions of dollars of waste
- Share some stories
- Enjoy some great inspirational photography
- Integrate an interactive component
- And yes, we will see how I learned lessons from my children and grandchildren – because potentially great lessons are all around us, we just need to learn how to extract them.
A lite meal will be provided at no charge by the Library to enjoy while you explore the nuances of leadership.

Adults and Young Adults who are, or have been in leadership positions, or who aspire to be someday.

Brent and his wife Laura live on a small ranch in North Idaho where they raised their four now-grown daughters, and where they continue to instill work ethic and appreciation of the natural world to their six grandchildren whenever they visit. When not in Idaho, they will likely be found working and exploring from their retreat in the Southwest of France.
