World Renown Leaders to Speak at Leadercast-Algonquin

Community business leaders can access the knowledge and experience of world-renowned leaders by attending Leadercast at Leadercast-Algonquin being held at Brunswick Zone XL in Algonquin on May 9, 2014.

The Leadercast event is broadcast LIVE from Atlanta, GA to hundreds of sites around the world, including Algonquin. This year's speaker lineup includes:

  • Andy Stanley, Leadership author and communicator
  • Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel laureate and human rights activist
  • Malcom Gladwell, Journalist and best-selling author of The Tipping Point and Outliers
  • Randall Wallace, Screenwriter, director, producer and songwriter (Braveheart, Secretariat)
  • Jack Welch, Former CEO of General Electric
  • Laura Schroff, Former ad sale executive and best-selling author of An Invisible Thread
  • Dr. Henry Cloud, Clinical psychologist and leadership consultant
  • Simon Sinek, Best-selling author of Start With Why and leadership expert
  • Laura Bush, First Lady of the United States (2001-2009)
Last year, over 100,000 leaders from 14 countries attended Leadercast. Now in its 15th year, this full day, experiential conference is on track to reach its largest audience to date.

"It is one of the single most consolidated sources of leadership that I know of," said event sponsor Dave Rudin, Founder and President of Advance Leadership, LLC. "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 is our first year hosting locally and we are not only looking forward to bringing the voice of these world-class leaders to our community, but we are planning to take action and make a difference together, too. A portion of all ticket sales for Leadercast-Algonquin will be donated to the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Chamber Foundation that gives scholarships to local high school seniors."

Leadercast exists to positively change the way the world things about leadership. This year's theme - Beyond You - challenges leaders to focus outward rather than inward. Experience Leadercast LIVE on May 9, 2014 and discover what it means to be a leader worth following.
