The Art of Powerful Communication

Some people can walk into a room and take it over. Authority is derived from more than just title, position and knowledge. It is often conveyed through those who effectively communicate their ideas. These leaders can change the attitudes of those around them and can dispel the preconceived notions of others.

Panelists:

Gail Letts, CEO and President of the Central Virginia Region, SunTrust Bank Inc

Margaret “Lyn” McDermid, SVP and CIO, Dominion. Lyn is also Chairman of the Board of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.

This session is moderated by Cynthia Cecil, Manager, Employee Involvement, Altria Client Services

Let Go to Grow

Why do some businesses thrive, while others flounder—unable to reach the next level?

Doug and Polly White’s book “Let Go to Grow” shows that the difference depends on how well the principal (i.e., the leader, the owner, the entrepreneur) is able to let go of daily responsibilities and delegate tasks to trusted employees. Join this session with Doug and Polly as they use real life examples and excerpts from their book to illustrate how the principal must change to allow business growth.  ”Let Go to Grow” was voted the National Federation of Independent Businesses’ “Best Business Book of 2011.” It is a must-read that helps principals transition their businesses into growing and thriving enterprises.
