Leadership Conversations Series

Creighton University’s College of Business Administration is partnering with Cox Business Systems to sponsor three in-depth discussions exploring the essence of business and personal leadership.  Through this leadership series, Creighton students and Omaha business executives will experience the personal stories and leadership journeys of leaders who have embodied excellence and developed excellence in others. These conversations will be personal, inspirational, occasionally provocative, and certainly compelling for anyone serious about business and leadership.
