SHARES AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP STYLE WITH TEXAS FFA

BY: AUSTIN BLAGG TEXAS FFA STATE VICE PRESIDENT

Developing an international faith-based entrepreneurial network to promote the many businesses of worldly leaders is a niche market. Still, with people like Dan Owolabi, this idea has quickly become a reality.

At NewPointe Community Church, a megachurch in his hometown, Dan served as the lead pastor for over four years. He has since decided to expand his work on a global scale, where he serves as the Executive Director of Branches Worldwide. This faith-based platform helps connect business leaders with experienced mentors to help develop their spheres of influence within their communities. Dan and his team have successfully spread support to leaders in 17 countries, including Nicaragua, Tanzania, Brazil, and Uganda. The connections facilitated by Branches Worldwide are meant to provide these entrepreneurs with mentorship, valuable resources for their businesses, and exposure to a global network.

Dan is a co-founder of Owolabi Leadership, where he presents keynote speeches to various audiences about his leadership philosophies across the country. From college campuses to virtual events, Dan's message has empowered leaders everywhere to become the most authentic versions of themselves. In addition to being a motivational speaker, Dan is also a published author. His most recent book, "Authentic Leadership: How To Lead With Nothing To Hide, Nothing To Prove, & Nothing To Lose," breaks down the most effective ways to practice a genuine leadership style and was a #1 release on Amazon in 2020.

The Texas FFA Association is fortunate to have created a lasting relationship with this servant leader, who has recently shared priceless leadership development with this year's state officer team. In addition, Dan Owolabi will be bringing that same energetic inspiration to the 2023 Texas FFA Convention as a keynote speaker.
