Rotary invitation: An amazing opportunity to grow your leadership skills in business, Rotary and life

Do you want a high value day of leadership inspiration and wisdom from top line speakers, including lunch and tea break refreshments, all for just $50?

On Thursday 14 November 8.30 for 9am to 5.15pm at Novotel Auckland Ellerslie you can be a part of one of the most exciting opportunities available through Rotary by completing and returning the Future Leaders' Seminar Registration Form availavle via www.rotaryinstitute.org.nz .  This will be an interactive day of presentations by leaders with a special message to inspire, supported by facilitated discussion groups to build on the speakers messages, share inspirations and next steps. 

Future Leaders' Seminar is an annual event held at a different location around New Zealand and Australia, so with this year being in Auckland, it will not be this convenient again for some years.

The seminar is themed Waves of Change and Oceans of Opportunity.  It is about leadership rather than being Rotary specific, so it is suitable for any Rotarians, Rotaractors and Ambassadorial Scholars who want to grow your leadership skills in Rotary, business and life. 

The programme and speakers include:

Leadership : the Value of Leadership to Business, Rotary and Life.  Presenter is Canterbury Employers Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive Peter Townsend

Vision : the ability to reflect upon the current situation, identify a preferred future, take calculated risks, and / or use initiative to develop an approach or way forward that aligns with Rotary's beliefs and values. Presenter is award winning Speaker inspiring audiences internationally, Coach, and Author Cath Vincent 

Passion : the ability to maintain a high level of energy and focus on the vision/approach, directing action towards this, bringing others along with you.  Presenter is leader of NZ Rheumatic Fever Programme and UK Obesity Programme Bronwyn Petrie, plus Kilmarnock Enterprises Chief Executive Michelle Sharp 

Communication : the ability to communicate the vision and passion in a way that has people "buy" into it.  Presenter is Past Rotary Coordinator Rob Crabtree
Commitment : the ability to work towards the vision.  Presenter is Business New Zealand Chief Executive Phil O'Reilly, plus Professional Director Ted Van Arkel 

Action : the ability to make decisions and take action, maintaining these over time.  Presenter is Regional Public Image Coordinator Howard Tong
