Where Leadership Meets Community Impact

Lead My Heart Prepares Leaders for Greater Impact

​This Is Where We Learn How to Change Our World

Lead My Heart curates meaningful civic engagement experiences designed to engage leaders, expand awareness, foster connection, and inspire action.

​

From intimate executive conversations to signature "fireside chats" and networking events, we create spaces where leaders can move beyond headlines and soundbites to engage in thoughtful dialogue about the issues shaping our communities.

​

Our events bring together executives, community leaders, emerging leaders, public officials, entrepreneurs, and changemakers for conversations that inform, challenge, connect, and activate.

​

​

Our Goal

 

Each experience is intentionally curated to:

  • Engage leaders in meaningful conversations about civic and community issues.

  • Educate attendees on policies, challenges, opportunities, and decisions impacting their communities.

  • Enhance awareness by creating space for perspectives and experiences leaders may not encounter in their everyday circles.

  • Build relationships across sectors, industries, generations, and communities.

  • Develop leadership by encouraging reflection, informed decision-making, and greater civic responsibility.

  • Inspire action by helping leaders identify how their influence, expertise, networks, and resources can contribute to positive change.

​

Conversation. Connection. Impact.

 

We believe civic engagement is more than politics. It is understanding what is happening around us, recognizing how decisions affect people and communities, and determining how we can use our leadership to make a difference.

​

That is why Lead My Heart creates experiences that are not simply events to attend, but opportunities to learn, connect, reflect, and lead with greater purpose.

Fireside Chat with Mayor Ron Nirenberg

On Sunday, February 8, 2026—Super Bowl Sunday—more than 100 Black women leaders from across Bexar County gathered for a powerful Fireside Chat with former San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg at the Black- and woman-owned Art by M. Butterfly Art Studio & Event Center. ​Leaders representing business, education, nonprofit, government, healthcare, faith, entrepreneurship, community advocacy, and other sectors came together for an intentional conversation centered on the issues impacting Black women, our families, and our communities.
