APEX: IMPERFECT CONVERSATIONS, REAL CONNECTIONS

In leadership, the moments that shape us most aren’t always polished; they’re the honest, imperfect conversations that push us to reflect, stretch and grow. Join Centurions alumni Drew Eanes and Davin Gordon for an open, real-talk session on navigating group dynamics, owning missteps and finding connection across differences. This dialogue isn’t about having the right answers, it’s about creating space for vulnerability, curiosity and the kind of shared learning that strengthens our community. Come ready to listen, reflect and take part in the conversations that move us forward. Register here >>
