A
diverse group of leaders, including CVS Caremark President and COO Larry Merlo,
futurist Edie Weiner and retired Lt. Col. Consuelo Kickbusch, will share their
personal experiences and business insights at the NEW Leadership Summit 2010,
Sept. 27–29 in Charlotte. The Summit will also include three SuperSessions, a
"generations at work” roundtable, networking opportunities and optional events,
including Retail Safari® store tours and a Deep
Dive Career Day.
Merlo
will welcome more than 700 Network members at the Summit’s opening reception,
Monday, Sept. 27 at the Westin Charlotte. The event will "provide tools to help
cpg/retail executives transform their careers, lives and companies to better
profit from the consumer industry’s ‘new normal,’” according to the Network.
Weiner,
one of the country's top futurists, will explore the demographic, cultural,
economic and technological changes remaking the business landscape in the
Summit’s opening keynote. The co-author of FutureThink
and The Insider's Guide to the Future
will outline changes and opportunities affecting marketing, product
development, strategic planning and talent management.
Kickbusch
will provide the Summit's closing keynote address, with lessons learned from her hardscrabble upbringing in Laredo,
Texas and a groundbreaking career in the U.S. Army. "Her passionate, humorous,
interactive presentation will help attendees identify and achieve their
personal vision by living their legacies every day,” the Network reported.
The
three-day event also includes three SuperSessions, featuring Bill Fournet,
corporate strategist and president and CEO of the Persimmon Group; Kevin Coupe,
journalist, author and industry blogger at MorningNewsBeat.com; and DeLores
Pressley, a consultant and coach specializing in building relationships.
Fournet
will provide practical techniques to help members harness today’s
multigenerational, multicultural workforce and lead high-performance work teams
in this time of accelerated change. Coupe’s SuperSession will describe how successful
companies have remained relevant in a fast-moving change environment. Pressley
will focus on ways that NEW members can advance their careers and their
organizing using new and traditional networking methods.
