What does it take to inspire others and lead with influence?

Clemson Turregano, Ph.D., LTC (Ret.), U.S. Army, will explore this question in his presentation, “Influencing Others,” at the Rowan Chamber of Commerce’s upcoming Power in Partnership (PIP) Breakfast.

The PIP breakfast will take place at 7:30 a.m. on Dec. 19, at Trinity Oaks (728 Klumac Road, Salisbury) and is sponsored by Rowan Helping Ministries and Meals on Wheels Rowan.

Turregano, this month’s featured PIP speaker, is the founder and CEO of Global Leadership Services, an international firm specializing in executive education and leadership development. With experience spanning business, government and nonprofit sectors, he helps leaders navigate complex challenges and make strategic decisions.

A Citadel graduate and retired military officer, Turregano’s leadership journey began with commanding troops overseas and continued as a professor at prestigious institutions like West Point and the Naval War College. After his military career, he transitioned to global senior leadership roles and now serves as the founding senior fellow at Furman University’s Center for Innovative Leadership.

The Power in Partnership breakfast series offers attendees a unique opportunity to enjoy a breakfast while engaging in networking, learning from industry leaders and discussing the latest trends and challenges facing the community.
