    SHELTON - Community and business leaders can access the knowledge and experience of world-renowned leaders May 10 by attending the Chick-fil-A® Leadercast® hosted by the Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce at R.D. Scinto, Inc. Auditorium in Building 3 on Corporate Drive.

 

    Chick-fil-A®  Leadercast®  is a one-day leader development event broadcast live from Atlanta to hundreds of sites throughout the world, including Shelton.
    Speakers for this year’s event include:

o       Jack Welch, Former Chairman and CEO of General Electric
o       Andy Stanley, Best-selling leadership author and communicator
o       Mike Krzyzewski, Head men’s basketball coach, Duke University and Team USA

o       Condolezza Rice, Secretary of State (2005-2009) , via exclusive Simply Lead video interview

   Last year, more than 100,000 leaders from 14 countries attended Chick-fil-A®  Leadercast®. In its 14th year, this full day, experiential conference is predicted to reach its largest audience to date.

    “It is one of the single most consolidated sources of leadership that I know of,” said Bill Purcell, President of the Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce.  “But it goes beyond that. I think this conference, although very focused on leadership, transcends the topic and really shows you how to lead in life.”

    This year the program will focus on the idea of simply leading. Our lives are full of things that we think will grow our businesses and increase our influence. What if there was potential impact in simplifying our lives so that our leadership could thrive? Leading in a complex world requires simplicity to cut through the clutter. This diverse group of internationally-acclaimed authors, leadership experts and practitioners will share insights to help leaders learn how to Simply Lead.

    Past attendee, Alex Modica of ShelfGenie, commented, “Aren’t you worth allocating a day to yourself for personal and professional development?”
