ON Leadership Conference 2026

EMPOWERMENT

Empowering others to create stronger leaders, teams, and organizations!

The ON Leadership Conference is back in February 2026, bringing together thought leaders, executives, and change-makers for an electrifying exploration of empowerment—what it is, how it works, and how it becomes a catalyst for transforming leaders, organizations, and communities.

Are you looking build a culture that is as healthy as it is effective at producing results? Empowerment is more than just delegation or motivation; it equips individuals and teams with the confidence, resources, and autonomy to make independent decisions, build momentum, and drive impact.

Done well, empowerment not only improves morale and reveals potential career paths, it also gives an organization the flexible structure it needs to grow without bottlenecks and burnout. But there are many approaches to empowerment, and some are far more effective than others. Join us as we explore the best practices of empowering people and organizations!

Register soon, because the countdown to Feb 11th and the 2026 ON Leadership Convention is on!
