Leading this is Bell Leadership's Founder, CEO, global leader, teacher, mentor, researcher and connector, Dr. Gerald D. Bell. For nearly half a century, Dr. Bell has been devoted to his clients and team, mentoring both through opportunities, challenges and successes. Beginning his career in North Carolina as a Professor at the University of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler Business School, Dr. Bell was honored this year with the establishment of the Gerald D. Bell Distinguished Professorship in the Kenan-Flagler Business School. The professorship is used to attract, retain and reward an extraordinary faculty member with research or teaching interests in the areas of leadership development or organizational behavior.

Dr. Bell's name was also honored this year in a new leadership series hosted by the University. The Inaugural Bell Student Leadership Symposium was held on campus on September 16th. Students had the opportunity to hear Dr. Bell speak during a lunchtime discussion group, while Bell Leadership trainers Dr. Dana Lebo, Dr. Elizabeth Gulledge and Bill Sanford facilitated small groups to introduce the Bell Leadership Achiever Model. Dr. Bell also gave the closing remarks. He reflected on the experience by stating, "Whenever I step onto a university campus, I think about how lucky we are to have these bright, dedicated, eager-to-learn, young achievers. The world is in very good hands with the leaders these budding UNC students will become."



Dr. Bell has built an impressive team of trainers, executive coaches, and keynote speakers to deliver his life-changing principles to leaders across the globe. Dr. Dana Lebo joined the team in 2006 with a focus on Coaching. Since 2008, Bill Sanford has delivered On-site Programs, Executive Retreats, and Keynote Speeches. Dr. Elizabeth Gulledge became a part of the team in 2014 and Jon Player in 2016 to expand the bench of leadership trainers, executive coaches, and keynote speakers.

One of Bell Leadership Institute's most recognized and repeated refrains is to "Achieve Forward." As the company sets its sight on 2018, a year full of expansion and new opportunities, Bell Leadership is ready to model this pursuit with newly-inspired resolve.
