Animated Wisdom for Real-World Leaders
What do Yogi Bear, The Smurfs, Mickey Mouse, Goofy, The Proud Family, and Spidey and His Amazing Friends have in common? They’ve all helped shape a generation of storytellers, dreamers, and leaders — including me.
Saturday Morning Leadership is a joyful, reflective experience that blends timeless cartoon characters with powerful leadership lessons. From the teamwork of the Super Friends to the heart of the Proud Family, we’ll explore how animated icons from the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, and today can inspire us to lead with empathy, creativity, and courage.
This isn’t just a workshop — it’s a celebration of the characters who taught us to believe in ourselves, help others, and chase big dreams. Whether you're guiding a team or just discovering your voice, this session will help you:
• Reconnect with the cartoons that shaped your values
• Discover leadership traits hidden in animated adventures
• Reflect, laugh, and grow in a community of fellow dreamers
Come curious. Leave empowered.
You’ll never look at cartoons — or leadership — the same way again.
