EIG evaluates Global Leadership Summit

Excellence in Giving designed and validated a survey instrument to assess the long-term impact of Willow Creek's Global Leadership Summit. 3,743 participants completed the survey in the U.S., creating a 3% margin of error and a 99% confidence level in the results. We identified key factors affecting impact for different types of leaders leading in different sectors.

Repeat participants reported what they had actually done or experienced in the years after the Global Leadership Summit inspired them to take action. We assessed each impact area with 2 or 3 different questions to validate results. Find excerpts from our evaluation in the promotional video below or this 2015 Global Leadership Summit promotional piece:
