“Leadership development has never been more important than in today’s ultra-competitive labor market,” said Graham Howerton, president of FEI Group. “Leadership can and should be demonstrated throughout the organization. Our goal is to give our members’ top performers the foundation they need to incorporate this mindset into their day-to-day operations.” 

FEI enlisted an impressive slate of leadership experts to deliver the event including; Gerry O’Brion, author and keynote speaker; Robb Best, CEO of Mindframe; Kris Kuester, director of people development and learning at Nationwide Marketing Group; Scott Vansant, executive vice president and formerly chief financial officer at SRS Distribution; and Bill Sanford, leadership trainer, speaker and executive coach at Bell Leadership Institute. The curriculum covered topics ranging from building high-performance teams and financial fundamentals to establishing a culture of accountability, commitment and deep engagement.

This workshop isn't for just everyone. It requires flexibility, openness and a willingness to take risks, Howerton said. The FEI team and its talented roster of speakers emphasize that it’s their commitment, engagement and trust in the process that will allow for transformational learning and ultimately inspire them to take part in shaping the future of their organization. 

“We have developed a format that will leverage the energy of the larger group while allowing for small, intimate group connections,” Howerton said. “The technical aspects of running a business are front and center every day, so we’ll focus on the general development of a well-rounded leader.”
