This is a great opportunity to develop your team and build a sense of team spirit.

You will hear great leaders from all different areas of life share principles and lessons that they have learned in reaching the top of their profession.

Where are you going to hear speakers like

*Al Weiss who serves as president of worldwide operations for Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.

*Bill George who is Professor of Management Practice, Henry B. Arthur Fellow of Ethics, at Harvard Business School, where he is teaching leadership and leadership development.

*Linda Kaplan Thaler who  is responsible for some of America's most famous, relevant and touching advertising campaigns.

*John Maxwell who is a leader in the world of leadership.

Wow!

All for $59 which includes lunch if purchased by May 1.

Abraham Lincoln said, “If I had 8 hours to cut down a tree, I would spend 6 hours sharpening my ax.” You have to continue to develop and improve your skills in order to be most effective.

I realize that businesses and companies are cutting back in a lot of areas right now. In a time of financial crisis there are always budget cuts, but you need to make sure they are the right cuts or you get hurt twice.  Never stop investing in people and your team. They are the ones who will lead you and see you through times of crisis.

Be sure that you make your budget cuts in the area of things, not in the area of training and development. It is not wise.

So, take advantage of this great opportunity May 8 and make the investment.  It will be something that you can leverage and get a great return on if you use it right.  Don’t spend money--invest it.

Then after the conference, set a time the following week to discuss the topics and ideas received and draw up a plan to execute them. Your team, department, company will reap great rewards.

In these challenging times, show your team that you believe in them.  It will lift the morale of the whole company.
