Steve Pemberton and Fierce Conversations Join Forces to Launch the Lighthouse Effect Master Class


SEATTLE, Oct. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Steve Pemberton, best-selling author and acclaimed speaker, and Fierce Conversations, a global leadership skills firm, announced the launch of The Lighthouse Effect Master Class alongside advocate and acclaimed speaker, Carmen Ortiz-McGhee.

The Lighthouse Effect is the idea that any of us in any given interaction can be a lighthouse for someone or can find a lighthouse for ourselves. "Most of us can think of someone who intervened in their lives and pushed them down a brighter path," says Ed Beltran, CEO of Fierce Inc. Understanding one's lighthouse effect will change the way they see the world and awaken them to the possibilities that they have to shape that same world.

This course will guide participants through the three stages of that process and provides skills, tips and strategies to put their lighthouse effect into action today. Participants will be challenged to reflect on those who were lighthouses for them—and why. When students complete this course, they'll have a new model to successfully navigate all aspects of their lives, from personal relationships to professional ones. They will leave this powerful course ignited, renewed and inspired to live their 'lighthouse life.'
