A look back……

“Leadership Lynchburg has pushed me to examine myself as a leader on a closer level. I have been encouraged to take

more time for reflection. Through understanding myself more and my leadership style and skills, I am better equipped to

mentor and lead others knowing how I impact others.”

Terry Lanham, Babcock & Wilcox

“Leadership Lynchburg has helped me to understand the importance of life and to not just go through the motions, but to have a vision and never take one second for granted. I originally went in to this process to better my leadership qualities but came out of it with it changing my

view on life.”Courtney Woody, First National Bank

“Leadership Lynchburg helped me realize it is not always about the end result of a task, but also about learning and growing during the journey to complete

the task.”

Teresa West, Boxley

“The program provided me with a way to interact with people all over Lynchburg that I would have never met. I was an enjoyable learning experience

and I would do it again.”

Jeremiah Kappler, Southern Air

“Leadership Lynchburg gave me the opportunity to work with a group of individuals and maximize our strengths and

weaknesses as we worked toward achievement of our SMART goals.

I learned to trust group members and delegate tasks/responsibilities versus doing everything myself. I was

also able to empower others in the group to take charge and develop their leadership skills and potential which illustrated

that leadership is not about power --but is more about influence!”

Paula Lichiello, Lynchburg College
