The Inspired Culture Summit Brings Leadership Development, Workplace Culture, and Personal Growth to Naperville November 16 and 17, 2026

“The kind of leader you become is shaped by the everyday choices you make—and those choices shape the experience of everyone around you.” – Eric Himes, Founder: The Inspired Culture

The Inspired Culture Summit will bring leaders together November 16 and 17, 2026, at Community Christian Church, 1635 Emerson Lane, Naperville. The leadership conference offers the same program on two separate dates, allowing attendees to choose the day that fits their schedules.

Hosted by The Inspired Culture, the summit connects leadership development, workplace culture, employee engagement, and personal growth with a central question: How do the behaviors of a leader shape the experience of everyone around them?

The event is designed for executives, business owners, human resources professionals, managers, coaches, and community leaders who want to build stronger teams while becoming more intentional in their own lives. Its focus extends beyond professional achievement to the habits, relationships, and responsibilities that influence how people lead at work and at home.

Founder and President Eric Himes brings a practical perspective shaped by building businesses and developing leaders. His work centers on making hidden leadership patterns visible and helping people turn awareness into consistent action. That approach connects the summit with his broader mission of helping people win on all fronts.

Leadership challenges often appear as missed expectations, difficult conversations, disengagement, or an inability to step away from work. The Inspired Culture approach asks leaders to examine what sits beneath those experiences. A habit of avoiding conflict, carrying every responsibility, or confusing constant activity with progress can influence both organizational culture and personal relationships.

The summit creates space to consider those patterns alongside questions of purpose, faith, resilience, and legacy. Participants are invited to reflect on the kind of leader they are becoming and the everyday choices that shape the people they serve.

Featured speakers include retired Navy SEAL Commander Jon Macaskill, Vital Neuro CEO John Golden, executive advisor Wanda Jones-Yeatman, entrepreneur Alex Sheridan, and World Vision leader Steve Spear, alongside Eric Himes and other practitioners.

The experience also connects attendees with opportunities for continued development. Tickets include 30 days of Growth Journey for the 50 Masks of Leadership, 30 days of Inspired Culture App access, and 12 months in the summit community with conference materials.

The 50 Masks of Leadership explores protective patterns that can affect communication, trust, decisions, and influence. The Inspired Culture App provides a place to continue that work through guided reflection and daily practice. Together, these resources support the transition from recognizing a pattern to practicing a different response.

Virtual tickets offer livestream and replay access. Premium tickets include preferred seating, The Empty Chair, and the full 50 Masks assessment. VIP tickets add a signed book and a reception with speakers and authors.

Registration and event details are available through the summit website. Attendees should select their preferred date and ticket experience when registering.
