Bestselling author and executive coach L. Michelle Smith joined Pastor Stephen G. Brown on the platform at Greater Life Church in Dallas for a fireside chat on her book Call & Response: 10 Leadership Lessons from the Black Church — receiving a standing ovation and selling out every copy at the signing that followed.
In this conversation, L. Michelle and Pastor Brown explore what the Black church has always known about leadership: how to move people through uncertainty, build trust across generations, and lead from the heart without losing strength or clarity.
What you'll take away:
— Why the leadership lessons embedded in Black church tradition translate directly to the boardroom
— How spiritual wisdom and modern leadership science point to the same truths about trust, resilience, and people
— What it means to lead "from the inside out" — and why that's the leadership skill organizations need most right now
— The story behind Call & Response and the framework it offers leaders at every level
