Summary

A conversation between two local leaders on purpose-driven business, stakeholder value, and leading with human connection. Registration required; tickets start at $10.

Description

Join C3MD for a conversation with Thibault Manekin and Jeff Cherry about leadership, purpose and the power of a different business approach. Last year, Jeff Cherry brought two of his Conscious Venture Lab graduates to the C3MD stage and moderated one of our most well-attended conversations yet. This November, Jeff steps into the spotlight himself — joined by Thibault Manekin, Co-Founder of Seawall Development — for a conversation between two Baltimore leaders who've each spent decades proving that business can be a force for genuine human connection, not just profit. Together, they'll explore what it really means to lead with purpose, why a different approach to business isn't just idealistic but effective, and what happens when stakeholder value comes first. Expect candid conversation, hard-won lessons, and questions they've prepared for each other. Registration is required. Tickets start at $10 for C3MD members. We'll be taking up a collection of non-perishable canned goods and toiletries for Columbia Community Care at this event as well. Spread the word. Let's do some good together!
