Top Titans of Business to Headline this Year’s World LEADERS Conference March 4 - 5
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (PRWEB) February 20, 2015 -- The 2015 World LEADERS Conference is bringing some of the most esteemed leadership experts and best-selling authors in the world together on March 4 and 5 at the Palm Beach County Convention Center. This year’s conference also includes live streaming to multiple universities, with nearly 200 students from area colleges attending for free through the World LEADERS scholarship program.
Entering its fourth year, the two-day conference will focus on the critical issues and trends that are shaping businesses today. It is hosted by the World Leaders Group, an organization dedicated to changing hearts and engaging minds to equip servant leaders worldwide. The event provides attendees with unique opportunities for interacting with world-renowned experts like Ken Blanchard, author of The One Minute Manger; Ben Carson, a history-making neurosurgeon, author and syndicated columnist, Claire Shipman, a senior national correspondent for ABC News, Drew Brees, the Superbowl-winning quarterback of the New Orleans Saints and more than a dozen others.
“The unique aspect of this conference is that it focuses on servant leadership and explores who you are and why you do what you do,”said James Davis, co-founder of the World LEADERS Conference. “Traditional leadership generally involves the accumulation and exercise of power by one at the ‘top of the pyramid.’ By comparison, a servant leader shares power, putting the needs of others first and helping others to develop and perform as highly as possible.”
New this year, attendees will have the opportunity to reserve a seat at one of several intimate speaker luncheons limited to only 40 people per luncheon for personal access to speakers. There will be networking breakfasts each morning and a Beyond the Conference Expo, featuring 23 exhibitor booths and two bookstores.
