Chick-fil-A Leadercast

Ten Internationally-Acclaimed Leaders Speak At UTPA Community business leaders can access the knowledge and experience of ten internationally-acclaimed leaders by attending the Chick-fil-A Leadercast at The University of Texas-Pan American College of Business Administration in Edinburg on May 7, 2010. The Chick-fil-A Leadercast is a one-day leadership training event broadcast LIVE from Atlanta, Ga. to hundreds of host sites throughout the nation, including Edinburg. Speakers for the event include: • Jim Collins, author of ''Good to Great,'' ''How the Mighty Fall'' and co-author of ''Built to Last'' • Tony Dungy (pre-recorded session), retired head coach for the Indianapolis Colts • John C. Maxwell, leadership expert and best-selling author of ''The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership'' • Ben Carson, neurosurgeon and professor of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine • Chip Heath, Author of ''Made to Stick,'' Columnist for ''Fast Company,'' and Stanford Professor • Jim Goodnight, CEO of SAS Institute, Inc. • Ed Bastian, president of Delta Air Lines • Connie Podesta, expert in the psychology of human behavior and leadership development • Mark Sanborn, best-selling author of The Fred Factor • Steve Uzzell, award-winning corporate photographer and former staff member of National Geographic The idea for the Chick-fil-A Leadercast was conceived ten years ago by Dr. John C. Maxwell, ''New York Times'' best-selling author and speaker. He wanted to combine his influential voice in the community with his desire to reach leaders at the heart level. What started out as a half day, classroom-format event with John Maxwell teaching has since become a full day, experiential conference featuring 10 authors, leadership experts and practitioners. "This event is an incredible way to improve upon one's leadership skills and further propel us to make a difference in the lives of those we influence,'' shares Maria Juarez Serna, direct
