The 2026 Leadership Legacy Experience (Friday, June 12, 2026, 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM at the Atlantic Union Bank Center on JMU’s campus) is designed to equip leaders with a clear, actionable framework for living core values every day.
 
My opening keynote with Wes—“The Framework for Applying The Values Advantage”—lays the foundation, drawing from his third Amazon #1 bestseller to show how values drive profitability, productivity, retention, and team excellence. Together, we’ll explore practical strategies that help leaders align their organizations around what matters most and create lasting impact.
 
We’re excited to announce that Mark Cole, CEO of Maxwell Leadership, will deliver the powerful closing keynote!
 
An internationally recognized thought leader, Mark has worked closely with John C. Maxwell for over a decade, helping grow Maxwell Leadership into the powerhouse it is today. Together, they have shared stages worldwide and equipped millions of adults and youth with values-based, people-centric leadership principles that truly transform lives, teams, and organizations. Mark’s closing keynote will serve as an inspiring capstone to the entire event, leaving you motivated and ready to apply these timeless principles in your own leadership journey.
 
VIP ticket holders will receive exclusive access, including a special morning Meet & Greet with Mark and an intimate VIP Lunch session where you can connect with him in a smaller setting for deeper insights and personal interaction. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn directly from one of today’s most respected leadership voices!
 
Whether you’re looking to strengthen your personal leadership or build a values-driven culture across your team or organization, the 2026 Leadership Legacy Experience promises to be a transformative day. Join us on June 12 at the Atlantic Union Bank Center on JMU’s campus for a full day of inspiration, practical tools, and meaningful connection.
