Leadership Orrville Completes First Session

Leadership Orrville officially launched September 20^th with its first full-day session at the Linc Way Conference Room. Eighteen leaders from companies throughout the area came together to begin their journey of building a professional life of purpose, meaning, and connection.

The day started out with Jesse Walker of Eagle Advisor Group leading the class to discover their “voice” so they can better understand themselves and others. The “Five Voices” program developed by GiANT Worldwide helps participants communicate more effectively with others while discovering ways to overcome challenges in the workplace.

David Lehman, former President & CEO at Mennonite Mutual Insurance and Wayne Savings Community Bank, guided the group through a lively discussion of the first few chapters of the book Learning Leadership by James Kouzes and Barry Posner.

The day wrapped up with Bruce Hendrick, Founder and President of Building Trust, helping participants with thought provoking ideas to develop trust and overcome fear, conflict, and disunity when mistrust appears in the workplace.



Leadership Orrville is a nine-month initiative of the Orrville Area Chamber of Commerce (OACC) and is sponsored by Farmers National Bank. This program furthers the OACC’s mission to connect people with the resources to support business growth and the broader community.
