Tackling leadership from many perspectives is crucial to superior results. From innovation to customer service and from change to crisis management, this year’s program offers various sessions related to these tenets of leadership.

Change Leadership – Change is not new. What is new is the incredible speed of change. Ira Blumenthal, president of CO-OPPORTUNITIES, Inc., supplies a high-energy, hands on approach to embracing, as well as capitalizing on change in business building, and how to avoid going from “distinction” to “extinction.”

Strategic Leadership – Strategic leadership is grounded in crisis prevention. How leaders respond during the first hours of a crisis very well may determine whether they seize an opportunity for growth or sustain serious risk. Bruce Blythe, CEO of Crisis Management International, provides take-and-use guidelines based on the latest research, case histories and vast experience.
