7:00 p.m. | McGuire Hall
Presented by Vincent Wolfington, founder and chairman of Global Ambassador Concierge LLC and Global Alliance Advisors LLC.

Today’s business leaders face competing demands spurred by globalization, technology, and an abundance of information and applications for it. Their mental capacity strained, executives may struggle to remember fundamental truths about what is most important in their personal and professional lives.

By drawing on philosophical concepts from different eras and cultures, Wolfington provides a roadmap for businesspeople eager to develop strategies for balancing their responsibilities to themselves, their families, their professional organizations, and the world in which they live. His remarks will span the Confucian concept of how to be a good servant; Adam Smith’s ideas on how to reconcile leaders’ self-interests with their commitment to others; the acknowledgment of Catholic intellectual tradition’s pressure on leaders to discern right and wrong; and the more recent concept of stewardship, which emphasizes corporate leadership guided by social conscience.
