Salisbury Express Office to Host Refresh Leadership Simulcast
Featuring John Mackey, Dick Vitale and Christine Cashen
Express Employment Professionals is hosting the 2014 Refresh Leadership Simulcast, a nationwide leadership event featuring legendary sportscaster and former basketball coach Dick Vitale, co-founder and co-CEO of Whole Foods Market John Mackey; and professional speaker and expert on handling conflict and stress Christine Cashen.
Scheduled for Wednesday, April 16, the Refresh Leadership Simulcast will be broadcast at the Salisbury Chamber of Commerce, 144 East Main Street, Salisbury, MD 21801. It will also be hosted at Chesapeake College for those on the Upper Shore. Registration opens at 8:30 a.m. and the simulcast begins at 9 a.m.
Business leaders, human resource professionals, chamber of commerce officials and chamber members can register at RefreshLeadership.com/Live. There is no cost to attend the simulcast but seating will be limited. HR Professionals will receive two HRCI credits for attending.
“Express is proud to present this exciting opportunity for business leaders from throughout our community,” said Mary Ellen Carter, owner of the Eastern Shore Express offices. “We understand that leadership challenges are the No. 1 reason why people leave companies, so we’re offering support to businesses with a focused day of learning about great leadership. This will be a great motivator for all levels of management.”
Refresh Leadership Live speakers will discuss what they believe makes great leaders and what they’ve learned throughout their professional careers about the importance of developing those skills.
Vitale’s experience and enthusiasm for the game of basketball are unparalleled and his “Vitale-isms,” like “Awesome, baby!” and “diaper dandy” have taken on a life of their own. With humor and optimism, Vitale’s presentation, The Game of Life, will share lessons he has learned from sports for addressing the problems of life.
A strong believer in free market principles, Mackey also co-founded the Conscious Capitalism Movement to challenge business leaders to rethink why their organizations exist and to acknowledge their roles in the global marketplace. Presenting on Conscious Leadership, Mackey will share how leaders can develop personally while growing their employees and the company itself.
As companies are forced to do more with less these days – fewer staff, declining resources, and 40 hours of stuff to do in a 24-hour day can really wear one down. In her topic, Stop Global Whining!, Cashen will share the secret to getting what you want with what you’ve got to make a difference in the workplace and in life.
The Refresh Leadership Simulcast is in its fifth year and will be broadcast to more than 175 locations across North America.
“Express has a strong presence on the shore and we are pleased to offer Refresh Leadership Live as a way to give back to the business community,” said Carter.
