Leadership That Lifts Conference

Leadership doesn't happen at ground level; it requires lift. That's the philosophy behind Leadership that Lifts, a high-impact collaboration between Sixth Wing, a human-centered leadership firm that builds trust, strengthens resilience, and drives performance, and AFN, the leading peer-to-peer executive network for dynamic leaders.

Together, we've designed an experience that mirrors the flight experience: intentional preparation, transformational elevation, and a return to work with renewed clarity and purpose.

CHOOSE YOUR FLIGHT PATH

To enhance your experience, we're running concurrent tracks of programming throughout the day. Whether you're looking to sharpen your communication skills, deepen your resilience, or explore the power of persuasion, you can select the sessions that best align with your goals. Each track is designed to offer practical, high-impact learning, so no matter which path you choose, you'll gain the lift you need.
