Grounds For Growth - Emerging Leaders | Who You Build: Somebody Took a Chance on You. Now It’s Your Turn, by Stephen Evans, U.S. Navy (Ret.) | Flag Bridge Global Solutions

About this event

Start your morning with Emerging Leaders at Downtown Deli featuring Who You Build: Somebody Took a Chance on You. Now it's Your Turn, a presentation by Stephen Evans, U.S. Navy (Ret.) , of Flag Bridge Global Solutions . Most of us can name the person who took a chance on us early in our careers. Fewer of us stop to ask who will one day say that about us. Stephen Evans grew up in Beaufort and spent 34 years in the U.S. Navy, where he commanded Carrier Strike Group 2 and the Naval Service Training Command. Today he runs Flag Bridge Global Solutions, a business consultancy and sits on the boards of two public companies. In May he gave the commencement address at The Citadel Graduate College, and this conversation grows out of that address. His view is that leadership starts long before anyone hands you a title, and that what you build in other people will outlast any job you hold.

This is a conversation around one table, so come ready to talk. Stephen will tell a few stories from his years at sea and in the boardroom, including his decision to let a young officer leave his ship early for law school and the letter that reached him years later. Then the group will take up two questions together: who built you, and who are you building now? Bring a pen. You will leave with one name and one thing to do differently on Monday morning.

This is the kind of conversation that shifts how you show up.

Expect a room full of driven, like-minded professionals, real conversation, and a more elevated, intentional experience than your typical networking event. Coffee and light breakfast included.

This is a limited-capacity event by design.

Registration is required.
