Live2Lead: Hosted by Blanton Advisors

02/05/2026

✨ Live2Lead – The Woodlands 2026 was a huge success! ✨

Blanton Advisors hosted the 11th annual Live2Lead-The Woodlands. Attendees we were energized, inspired, and challenged to grow alongside an incredible community of leaders. Hearing from Jesse Cole, Anthony Trucks, and Craig Groeschel reinforced a powerful message: real growth happens when we trust the vision over fear, embrace the work others won’t do, and believe we’re capable of more than we think.

One of the favorite moments of the day was the “Power of a Word” rock exercise led by Megan Alarid – Heightened Leaders & Melanie Bush – Better Bookkeepers, Inc. - The Woodlands —a simple, meaningful way to lock in our focus word for 2026.

The Live2Lead Local Leader Panel was equally inspiring, featuring community leaders who are shaping our future:
• Justin Kendrick, Senior VP & CEO, Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Medical Center & Memorial Hermann Northeast Hospital
• Kristen Shults, Senior VP & CFO, Western Midstream Partners
• Eli Viamontes, CEO, Entergy Texas

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make Live2Lead – The Woodlands such a memorable and impactful experience. Here’s to leading well and growing together in 2026!
