Who it's for

This is for you if you lead a team, teach a classroom, serve in your church, run a business, hold a nonprofit together, or simply want to make more of a difference right where you are. You don't need a title to belong here.

What to expect

A full day of talks delivered via videocast, built around one idea: you don't need a title to make an impact.

Put what you learn into practice, and here's the impact you can set in motion:

Stuck thinking starts moving again

Teams find their rhythm

Productivity climbs

Conflict turns into real conversation

Purpose starts to matter more than ambition

One day with us will equip you for greater impact in your organisation, whether that's a church, a school, a business, or a community.

World-class faculty — global thought leaders, CEOs, faith leaders, creatives and culture-shapers, each bringing a different lens and practical strategies.

It's a curated experience designed to keep you engaged from the first session to the last.

Why GLS

GLS reaches leaders across:

• 100+ countries worldwide
• 20,000+ attendees in South Africa over 21 years

Whether you've been in your role for decades or you're still finding your feet, you'll leave refreshed, re-ignited, and ready, because what you do from where you are matters.

People come back year after year, not for another idea to add to the pile, but for the space to breathe, renew their vision, and walk away with fresh frameworks and practical tools they can actually use.

GLS is the signature event of the Global Leadership Network, a non-profit organisation that brings together ministry and marketplace expertise because we believe leadership carries a higher purpose.

Come dream and grow alongside like-minded leaders from across the world.
