San Diego, CA (PRWEB) June 04, 2014
The world lost an extraordinary leader this year with the passing of Nelson Mandela and the FRED Forum will put a retrospective spotlight on the man and his transformative leadership. Rita Barnard, a South African and the editor of Cambridge University Press’s new book, Walking with Mandela, will examine the man behind the mythology and share narrative stories from his leadership legacy.
Richard Olivier, the founder of Mythodrama in London, will present his groundbreaking approach to developing world-class leaders using tools not often associated with corporate leadership: mythology, archetypal psychology, philosophy and Shakespearean theatre. The prestigious Best Practice Institute recently honored Richard for his work with its 2013 Top Thought Leader Award.
Todd Breyfogle, Head of Executive Seminars at the world famous Aspen Institute, will present their methodology, first pioneered by Mortimer Adler, the famous educator who helped create the Great Books Program of learning. Rounding out the versatile and stimulating line-up will be David Labistour, CEO of Vancouver’s Mountain Equipment Company, who will share MEC’s approach to the environment and sustainability.
Besides the array of speakers, the FRED Forum fashions itself as an ‘intellectual and emotional spa’ where its by-invitation-only audience assembles in select cities around the world for dialogue, immersive experiences, and a deep dive into the essential nature of authentic leadership.
