Center for Christianity in Business to present GlobeQuake Project

10/9/2009

The Houston Baptist University School of Business and its Center for Christianity in Business, in conjunction with the Headwaters Leadership Institute, will host Dr. Wallace Henley – assistant pastor at Houston’s Second Baptist Church, a management and organizational consultant, and a former White House and congressional aide – for a presentation of GlobeQuake: How to Build and Sustain Safe, Sane, Stable, Successful Companies in Turbulent Times on Friday, Oct. 23 from 7:30 a.m. to noon in the Morris Cultural Arts Center on the HBU campus.

Dr. Henley’s GlobeQuake presentation is designed to help Houston business leaders and their companies weather the turbulent economic climate. It explores the nature and extent of contemporary global change and how business and other key societal institutions can be stable and effective through the application of time-tested biblical principles.

Through participation in breakout groups with expert counsel and review of a comprehensive workbook with research findings, GlobeQuake attendees will receive valuable new perspective to strategically direct their businesses. In addition to Dr. Henley, presenters will include Brad Hays, director of the Center for Christianity in Business and founder of Bible in the Boardroom, and members of the HBU School of Business faculty.
