About Conceiver Leadership and Learning Group
What would life be like if we had no courage to attempt anything? A Conceiver , by our definition, is anyone who conceives of an idea or sets a goal – then applies the elements of faith, hope, imagination, creativity, action, and work to bring their idea or goal to a reality.
