    Stewarding Your Influence

    Pinnacle Forum's podcast features interviews with our Partners and, occasionally, other guest speakers. Learn how to take your position of leadership to a higher purpose and deeper significance. Our speciality is in helping leaders to steward their influence in ways that honor Jesus Christ - which changes the cultures in which we live: family, personal, work, community, country, and globally. After all people are not just observing the amount of success we achieve, but they are watching how we achieve that success and the motives behind that success. We are helping leaders who are Christians rise to new heights with regards to an eternal purpose in mind.
