12 APRIL 9-15, 2014 WWW.UPANDCOMINGWEEKLY.COM Back for its fifth year, the Refresh Leadership Live Simulcast is an opportunity to come together with members of the business community to learn more about the principles of great leadership. On Wednesday, April 16, Express Employment is sponsoring Refresh Leadership Live Simulcast, a networking and leadership event, at the Doubletree by Hilton on Cedar Creek Road. Great leaders are enablers of ambition, asserting their influence rather than their authority to inspire others to achieve more. At the Refresh Leadership Live Simulcast, a distinguished lineup of speakers who have proven their mettle will share their insight and experience with the audience. Cathy Jackson is a staffing consultant at Express Employment Professionals. This is the fifth time that the company has hosted the event and it is something she looks forward to each year. " We want to give back to the community and this is a way that people can take a break and do three hours of networking and get some good information that they can take back to the office. People leave refreshed with new insights about how to be proactive. We have several people who come back again and again. The speakers are great." The speakers are John Mackey, cofounder and CEO of Whole Foods; Dick Vitale, sportscaster and former professional and college basketball coach; and Christine Cashen, professional speaker and expert on handling conflict and stress to energize employees. Mackey is a strong believer in free market principles and is a cofounder of the Conscious Capitalism Movement which challenges business leaders to rethink why their organizations exist and to acknowledge their roles in the interdependent global market place. In his presentation, he'll share how leaders can personally grow and engage employees and the company itself. 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. Seemingly emblematic of his own last name in that he's always full of vitality, Vitale will share the lessons he has learned from sports for addressing the problems of life head-on, with boundless humor and optimism. Many professionals are doing more with less these days — fewer staff, declining resources and 40 hours of stuff to do in a 24-hour day. This can wear people down. What can be done? Complaining is a waste of energy. Be a part of the solution. In her presentation, Cashen shares the secret to getting what you want with what you've got to make a difference in your workplace and your life.
