Audie is passionate about inspiring leaders, building values-centric cultures and unleashing the potential of greatness in every person.  He sees the world as a glass half full and believes it is the job of leaders to fill these “glasses” completely until they run over the top.  His life focus is to reveal opportunities for leaders, organizations and high-performing teams to thrive in the midst of chaos, using strategic planning and communication, relationships and cultures of excellence as building blocks.  With more than 27 years in executive-level public and corporate leadership positions, Audie knows firsthand the struggles and obstacles of building, training and leading high-performance teams — propelling leaders toward excellence and greater achievement. Audie built Summit 27 on the basic principle that great cultures are established on the values and character of its leaders and that those values naturally start with the biblical principle of loving our neighbors as ourselves.
