Leading From Your Center

Leadership institutes · corporate ERGs · faith and civic audiences

What does it mean to lead from your center — to hold your values steady when the pressure to compromise is highest? Mike Elliott draws on decisions made under national scrutiny, pandemic emergency powers, and moments when the politically safe path and the right path diverged.

Grounded in a village upbringing in Liberia and tested in an American mayor's office, this talk is about the interior discipline of leadership: knowing what you won't trade, and being honest about what staying true actually costs.
