Workforce Development Division to Host Leadercast 2015

On May 8, 2015, the Workforce Development Division will host a live broadcast of the 16th annual Leadercast at NOVA’s Annandale Campus.

Leadercast is the premier development event for leadership growth at all levels. Simulcast live from Atlanta to hundreds of locations around the world, Leadercast enables and empowers local communities by giving them access to world-renowned content, and raises up leaders who live for more than themselves.

This year, Leadercast showcases “the Brave Ones” — leaders who push their organizations further and who stand up for the less fortunate.

An essential behavior for any leader is the act of bravery. Bravery is not a moniker that can be bought… it cannot be self-appointed. Bravery is not attributed to everyone, but is reserved for those whose innovation in their industry cause them to stand out from the crowd, whose unyielding effort and error push their organizations into new territories, and whose boldness compels them to stand up for those less fortunate. These are The Brave Ones.

 

The Brave Ones have existed throughout history. Some are unforgettable icons, others names will never be remembered. They exist across all industries, societies, and at every level of leadership. Join us at Leadercast Live in 2015 as we explore The Brave Ones, and learn what it means to lead in such a way that creates bold cultures, builds faithful employees, and produces high achievement.
