To begin the Leadership Conversations we start with 3 simple yet revealing questions
1. Vision - Where am I going? or Where are we going?
2. Vulnerability - What help do I need? or What help do we need?
3. Volatility - What's holding me back? or What's holding us back?
We want to Strengthen your clarity, confidence, and courage in life and leadership. It's an honest conversation with yourself and those closest with you.

#9 Conversations with Gary & Renee VanDyke ~ Leadership vision meets personal vulnerability and serves 8 million meals to the most vulnerable #9
Gary and Renee VanDyke, local Colorado leadership influencers and founders of Food For Orphans.
Gary started out in Christian radio which led him to his passion for helping others and also to his wife Renee. His work led him to travel and see true poverty and he knew he had to help. His heart was really touched by the orphans who had no one to go to for the care that they need. He saw that their most pressing need was food and he was inspired to help. To make that happen he knew he would have to invite others to his cause because he could not do it alone.
Renee and Gary have been using their platforms to help international orphans since 1999. Food for Orphans has provided over 8 million meals and has no plans on stopping there.
We learn a few things from Gary and Renee
