SDI, a leadership mentoring program with a focus on entrepreneurship, is launching the SDI Leadership Academy July 29 from 8:30 am to noon at the New Life Worship Center – West Campus, located at 3940 Desoto Drive, Martinez, Ga.

This one day of intensive training includes workshops that will provide startup teams, small business owners, as well as business leaders with the tools and information needed to take their companies to the next level.

The Leadership Academy instructors are leaders in their respective fields. LaShunna Stokes, a highly-acclaimed fashion blogger and owner of Glam Studio 7, LLC., will be teaching how to build a successful business from the ground up. Dr. Paul Newsom, director of CSR Angels, will be discussing how to position your business with angel investors. Lastly, Dr. Olajide Agunloye, former Chief Consultant for Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Education, will be teaching the Master Class on transformational leadership.

SDI Founder and CEO Danielle Harris says the Leadership Academy helps entrepreneurs tap into the uniqueness of their brand to become more competitive in the marketplace.

“We are delighted to provide entrepreneurs with the tools that will not only show them how to navigate the chaos of growing a business,  but we hope to help them build a profitable brand that impacts their communities and inspire the next generation of business leaders to do the same,” Harris said.
