Launchit Minto is bringing a leadership development simulcast event, being broadcast in over 30 countries, to Minto on Oct. 7.
The goal of Live2Lead is “to equip attendees with new perspectives, practical tools and key takeaways,” states a press release from LaunchIt, a business incubator program operated by the Town of Minto.
The release states participants will “learn valuable information from four world-class leadership experts, be prepared to implement a new action plan and feel a sense of renewed passion and commitment.”
The event will be screened at the Norgan Theatre in Palmeston. Registration starts at 8am and runs to 12:30pm.

Maxwell: a bestselling author, coach, and speaker who has sold more than 26 million books and was identified as the world’s most influential leadership expert by Business Insider and Inc. magazines in 2014. He received the Mother Teresa Prize for Global Peace and Leadership from the Luminary Leadership Network in 2014;
