Put Your Business in the Room at Lead on Fire!
The Lead on Fire Leadership Conference is growing, and we're looking for businesses and organizations who want to grow with us!
On March 4–5, leaders from healthcare, business, education, senior care, and beyond will gather in Lynchburg for Lead with Purpose. Live in Peace.

Because it's more than putting your logo on a sign. It's an opportunity to get your business in front of leaders, administrators, business owners, professionals, and decision-makers while supporting an experience designed to pour back into those who lead others every day.
We're also bringing Emerging Leaders—students and recent graduates—into the room. For employers, that means you just might meet a future employee. 👀
Sponsorships begin at just $100, and you can also give directly to our Emerging Leader Scholarship Fund.

WE'RE BACK!!!

Lead on Fire 2027 registration opens SEPTEMBER 1!

And after last year, the pressure is ON!

We had attendees tell us Lead on Fire was the best conference they'd ever attended. And before they even left, people were already asking:

“How are you going to top this next year?”

Listen...we've been asking ourselves the same thing!

But we're getting ready!

March 4–5, 2027
Lynchburg, Virginia

This year's theme is:

LEAD WITH PURPOSE. LIVE IN PEACE.

We're bringing the FIRE back, but this year we're also making room for HARMONY.

How do you lead well, grow, build, serve, care for people, pursue your purpose AND still have room for your own life and peace?

That's where we're going.

Expect two days of powerful leadership, honest conversations, laughter, great food, and a chance to connect with other leaders who get it—people you can learn from, share with, and maybe even stay connected to long after the conference ends.

And if you were with us last year, you already know we like a few surprises! Professional headshots. Chair massages. And who knows what we might come up with this year...

This conference is for ALL LEADERS!

Emerging and experienced leaders. Business owners. Administrators. Health care professionals. And anyone ready to grow in how they lead without losing themselves along the way.

Plus, Administrators and Health Care Professionals can earn 10 NAB-approved CEUs.

REGISTRATION OPENS SEPTEMBER 1!

And Super Early Bird will be the BEST general registration price you'll see.

Last year was incredible.

Now let's see what happens when we add a little PEACE to this FIRE!

Lead with Purpose. Live in Peace.

Wednesday Leadership Reflection 🔥

If the people you lead had to live on the words you speak to them, would they be nourished or depleted?

Words carry weight.

And when you’re a leader, sometimes they carry more weight than you realize.

People remember the leader who believed in them before they believed in themselves.

They also remember the leader whose words made them question whether they were capable at all.

That’s why leadership requires us to pay attention not only to what we say, but to what our words leave behind.

Do people leave conversations with us feeling encouraged, equipped, and challenged to grow?

Or do they leave feeling smaller than they did before?

And that doesn’t mean good leaders only say nice things. Sometimes leadership requires correction, accountability, and hard conversations. But even correction can be given in a way that preserves someone’s dignity.

Proverbs 12:14 reminds us that there is fruit attached to our words.

So today, pay attention to what your words leave behind.

Because long after the conversation ends, people may still be carrying what you said.

Make sure what they’re carrying helps them grow. 🔥

One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned about leadership is that having something to say and knowing when to listen are equally important.

As leaders, we can get so focused on giving direction, solving problems, teaching, encouraging, and making sure everybody knows what needs to happen.

But sometimes the person in front of us doesn’t need our answer.

They need our ear.

They need enough space to finish the thought without us jumping in.
They need to know their perspective matters.
They need to feel like we’re listening to understand—not just waiting for our turn to talk.

Your voice may help you lead people, but your ability to listen helps you know the people you’re leading.

That’s a different level of leadership.

🔥 Lead on Fire Reflection:
When was the last time someone walked away from a conversation with you feeling truly heard?

08/10/2026

Sometimes the strongest person in the room is the one running on empty.

I know because I’ve been her.

Long before I ever had a leadership title, I learned how to be responsible. How to help. How to take care of people. How to step in when something needed to be done.

Somewhere along the way, being “the one who can handle it” became part of who I was.

And if I’m being truthful, I took pride in that.

If something needed to be done, I could do it.
If someone needed help, I was there.
If there was a problem, I was already thinking about how to fix it.

That followed me right into leadership.

But here’s what I’ve learned: when you’re known as the strong one, people don’t always recognize when you’re tired.

Especially when you keep showing up.

You can be exhausted and still productive.
Overwhelmed and still dependable.
Running on empty and still getting the job done.

I’ve done all three.

One of the most important lessons I’ve had to learn is that my ability to carry something does not automatically make it mine to carry.

And being a strong leader does not require me to empty myself to prove my strength.

That lesson is woven throughout Lead on Fire because I didn’t write this book from a place of having leadership all figured out. I wrote it from what I’ve lived, what I’ve learned, what I’ve had to unlearn, and what I’m still learning today.

You were never meant to lead on empty.

So here’s a question worth sitting with:

Are you truly full…or have you simply gotten really good at functioning on empty?

There is a difference. 🔥

Wednesday Leadership Reflection 🔥

One of the biggest myths in leadership is that confidence and humility can't exist together.

They can.

In fact, the best leaders I've met have both.

They walk into a room without needing to prove they're the smartest person there. They ask questions. They celebrate other people's wins. They admit when they're wrong. And when it's time to lead, they don't shrink back.

That's not weakness. That's confidence rooted in purpose instead of ego.

I don't want to be remembered as the loudest leader in the room.
I want to be remembered as someone who made people feel seen, valued, and inspired to become who they were created to be.

"Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves." — Philippians 2:3

Lead boldly. Stay humble. Let your purpose do the talking. ❤️🔥
