Ten Internationally-Acclaimed Leaders Speak At North Industry Christian Church
Canton, Ohio - Community business leaders can access the knowledge and experience of ten internationally-acclaimed leaders by attending the Chick-fil-A Leadercast at North Industry Christian Church in Canton on May 7, 2010.
The Chick-fil-A Leadercast is a one-day leadership training event broadcast LIVE from Atlanta, Ga. to hundreds of host sites throughout the nation, including Canton. Speakers for the event include:
Jim Collins, author of "Good to Great," "How the Mighty Fall" and co-author of "Built to Last"
Tony Dungy (pre-recorded session), retired head coach for the Indianapolis Colts
John C. Maxwell, leadership expert and best-selling author of "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership"
Ben Carson, neurosurgeon and professor of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine
Chip Heath, Author of "Made to Stick," Columnist for "Fast Company," and Stanford Professor
Jim Goodnight, CEO of SAS Institute, Inc.
Ed Bastian, president of Delta Air Lines
Connie Podesta, expert in the psychology of human behavior and leadership development
Mark Sanborn, best-selling author of The Fred Factor
Steve Uzzell, award-winning corporate photographer and former staff member of National Geographic
The idea for the Chick-fil-A Leadercast was conceived ten years ago by Dr. John C. Maxwell, "New York Times" best-selling author and speaker. He wanted to combine his influential voice in the community with his desire to reach leaders at the heart level.
What started out as a half day, classroom-format event with John Maxwell teaching has since become a full day, experiential conference featuring 10 authors, leadership experts and practitioners.
"The event was a highlight in my development," said Jennifer Boubel, director of field services for Continental Airlines. "Each speaker brought insights that were inspiring. It is an incredible way to improve upon our leadership so that in turn we can make a difference in the lives of those we influence."
This year's program will focus on how individual and teams can be the one to make a difference at work, at home and in the community. The ten speakers will speak on subjects such as connecting with others, standing out amid the competition, ideas for creative problem solving, leading in challenging circumstances, creating strong team cultures and how to avoid, detect and reverse decline.
"Leadership is about who you are within," said Bill George, Harvard Business School professor and author of "True North." "I think people don't get that. I think it's important to come and listen to leaders to reflect on the kind of leader you want to become."
