Speaker Event - Featuring Peter Luongo

An eye-opening take on leadership, giving back, and staying true to yourself

Success, as the saying goes, is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. Hard work will take you far – but that 10% of inspiration is a pretty big deal. And when you’re looking for inspiration, nothing beats tried-and-true advice and fresh perspectives from someone who thinks outside the box.

Peter Luongo is a former president/CEO and the author of 10 Truths About Leadership ... It’s Not Just About Winning. These 10 truths are life lessons that can help you achieve your goals while making a positive difference in people’s lives. At this presentation he’ll be sharing his practical insights from the book and two of its most important ideas:

1) Maintaining your beliefs and values as you strive for success

Many business leaders are pressured to sacrifice their core values in pursuit of the bottom line. But as you’ll hear from Peter, these two things aren’t mutually exclusive; winning doesn’t mean you have to sell out and compromise what you stand for.

2) Creating an environment where success and empowered employees go hand-in-hand

As a president and CEO, Peter relied on a behavior-driven leadership model that focused on people, support, expectations, feedback, and accountability. You’ll find out how to apply the same approach to make each of your employees feel valued, respected, and part of something special. This powerful concept can boost your organization’s performance, not to mention your sense of personal fulfillment and self-worth.
