Rohr concluded her interview by urging leaders to remember their callings.

“Here at the conference, we say [words] like ‘I’m going to give you my everything, Jesus.’ How come that doesn’t happen more often?” she posed.

If Rohr had not followed God’s will, she said she would probably be in New York making some 100 million dollar deals.

“And how lame would that be compared to what I do now?” she asked.

Catherine Rohr was one of the speakers at this year’s highly prominent Willow Creek Leadership Summit, which featured a world-class line-up of guests and speakers, including Chuck Colson, chairman and founder of Prison Fellowship Ministries; Craig Groeschel, senior pastor of LifeChurch.tv; Brad Anderson, vice-chairman and CEO of Best Buy, Inc.; and Bill Hybels, senior pastor of Willow Creek Community Church, where the Aug. 7-8 summit was being broadcast live over the course of two days to more than 140 locations across America.

The annual gathering, now in its 13th year, is one of the world's most premier leadership training events.
