The North County Leadership Summit: Powered by Live2Lead
About this Event
What would change in your business if you became a better leader?
Maybe you'd communicate more effectively, develop stronger people, build a healthier culture, make better decisions, or finally get your team to take greater ownership instead of everything falling back on you.
Because when the leader gets better, everything has the opportunity to get better.
Join the Escondido Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Alan and Louisa Shimamoto of Accelerate Growth Coaching, for The North County Leadership Summit, powered by Live2Lead.
We're bringing the world class leadership content of Live2Lead to North County San Diego for an exclusive, locally hosted leadership experience designed to help you strengthen your leadership, develop your people, and build a stronger organization.
You'll experience a professionally produced keynote presentation from John C. Maxwell, along with select presentations from other world class Live2Lead leadership experts. These presentations were originally delivered at the Live2Lead global leadership event and will be presented at our Summit via rebroadcast.
But this experience goes far beyond watching presentations.
Alan and Louisa will be with you live and in person throughout the day, sharing additional leadership insights, facilitating interactive leadership roundtable discussions, and helping you turn what you're learning into practical action you can apply to your leadership, team, and organization.
This isn't about spending a day getting inspired, taking pages of notes, and then returning to business as usual.
It's about what you do with what you learn.
WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH
Throughout the day, you'll gain new perspectives, practical leadership principles, and actionable ideas to help you:
• Strengthen your leadership
• Communicate more effectively
• Develop and equip the people around you
• Build a stronger team and healthier culture
• Increase ownership and accountability
• Think differently about the challenges and opportunities in front of you
• Turn leadership insights into practical action
• Create greater impact within your organization
MORE THAN A LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
Some of the greatest learning doesn't happen only from the stage. It happens when leaders have the opportunity to discuss what they're learning, challenge their thinking, share experiences, and learn from one another.
That's why we've intentionally incorporated interactive leadership roundtable discussions throughout the Summit.
You'll connect with other growth minded leaders, discuss key insights, share experiences, and identify how you can apply what you're learning to your own leadership, team, and organization.
The goal isn't simply more information.
It's implementation.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
The North County Leadership Summit is designed for:
• CEOs and executives
• Business owners and entrepreneurs
• Managers and organizational leaders
• Sales leaders
• Emerging leaders
• Anyone committed to becoming a better leader and developing the people around them
BRING YOUR LEADERSHIP TEAM
Leadership development becomes even more powerful when your team grows together.
Consider bringing members of your leadership team so you can experience the Summit together, discuss what you're learning in real time, and return to your organization with shared language, new perspectives, and practical strategies you can begin implementing immediately.
Invest in yourself and invest in the leaders who will help shape the future of your organization.
WHY WE BELIEVE IN INVESTING IN LEADERS
Thirty eight years ago, at just 24 years old, Alan made an investment in himself by attending a leadership event that changed the trajectory of his life.
At the time, he thought he was learning how to build a better business.
What he discovered was something much more important.
He was becoming the leader his future business and his future family would need him to be.
That experience is one of the reasons Alan and Louisa are so passionate about bringing leadership experiences like this to the North County business community.
Because when we invest in ourselves as leaders, the impact doesn't stop with us. It influences our businesses, our teams, our families, and the people we have the opportunity to serve.
OUR MISSION
To help leaders move from inspiration to implementation, creating lasting transformation and impact.
Because better leaders build better organizations.
