Attitudes Are Contagious, Is Yours Worth Catching? Acclaimed Author/Performance Coach in West Hartford to Kick-off Book Discussion Series

Achim Nowak, author of Infectious and an internationally recognized authority on executive presence and infectious personal connections, will be in town to kick-off Leadership Greater Hartford's  fourth Lessons in Leadership series on Friday morning February 28, 7:30 a.m., in the Crystal Room at the University of Saint Joseph.  A book signing will follow the breakfast discussion.

 

Lessons in Leadership is a book discussion series for business and nonprofit leaders interested in continuing their leadership understanding and skill development.  Because it is important for leaders to take time to grow personally for the benefit of those they serve, Lessons in Leadership fosters a sense of common purpose where leaders from different disciplines can meet, share their diverse perspectives, and identify mutual interests. In an age where communications have been reduced to efficient sound bites, the series will explore Nowak's four key levels of connection that will help professionals connect deeply with others in order to become "Infectious" leaders.
