FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

International Leadership Event Coming to Halifax

World’s Largest Leadership Event Championed by Harding Premiere Realty

Halifax, NS — Thanks to the support of Harding Premiere Realty and the Nova Scotia Co-operative Council, community and business leaders, entrepreneurs, and students will have access to the knowledge and experience of world-renowned leaders featured at the Chick-fil-A® Leadercast® 2012 event. The simulcast event will be hosted on May 4, 2012 at Empire Theatres Bayers Lake in Halifax.

Chick-fil-A Leadercast is a one-day leadership development event broadcast LIVE from Atlanta, Georgia to over 600 venues around the world. Now in its 12th year, this full-day, experiential conference is set to reach over 125,000 leaders from around the world. Speakers for the 2012 event include:

• Soledad O’Brien, Anchor and Special Correspondent for CNN
• Tim Tebow, NFL quarterback, Heisman Trophy winner & best-selling author
• Patrick Lencioni, Best-selling author & president of The Table Group
• John Maxwell, Leadership expert & best-selling author
• Urban Meyer, Head football coach for Ohio State University Buckeyes
• And many more

The Momentum Group, who brought leaders such as Sir Richard Branson, Gene Simmons, and Donald Trump to Atlantic Canada, realized that Halifax was the only major city in Canada not to have this empowering event, and jumped at the opportunity to host it in 2012. “It took no time for the synergy between Harding Premiere Realty and this amazing initiative to spark,” said Brad LeBlanc of The Momentum Group.

“It is one of the single most consolidated sources of leadership that I know of,” said Paul Urbanowki, senior manager at AT&T, “But it goes beyond that. I think this conference, although very focused on leadership, transcends the topic and really shows you how to lead in life.”

This year’s program will focus on the power of choice. The diverse group of internationally acclaimed authors and leadership experts will share insights to help leaders empower and equip themselves and others at work, home and in the community through their choices.

In searching for a partner to make this event possible in Nova Scotia, The Momentum Group wanted to find a local company who believes in the power of dreams and encouraging aspiring leaders to be their best: Harding Premiere Realty (under the leadership of Donna Harding and Sebastien Latulippe) jumped at the opportunity to take the lead on this event.

Donna Harding said, “Leadership is the art of inspiring those around you to dream, learn and do — a leader produces results through vision, influence and guidance, not orders.” Her sentiments were echoed by her partner Sebastien Latulippe, saying, “Entrepreneurship is the action of applying the art of leadership with emphasis on nurturing creativity and surviving. An entrepreneur sees opportunities where others don’t, and is willing to take the risks to make those opportunities a reality.”

Complementing the support of Harding Premiere Realty, this event is also sponsored by the Nova Scotia Co-operative Council, having a prominent leadership role in Nova Scotia, and in honor of the UN’s International Year of Co-operatives.

Harding Premiere Realty on Chick-fil-A Leadercast:

“In this era of economic uncertainties and austerity measures throughout most of the world, events like Leadercast are worth more than gold for those wishing to focus their energy on what matters. This event will bring together individuals who seek to leverage themselves and their organizations to new heights, while making a difference. Participants will get to listen to learned speakers who will share their insight, enthusiasm and experiences with the message that anything is possible. If, at the end of the day, everyone walks away with one new idea on how to more successfully navigate their enterprise, the results will be compounding and unbelievable!”

Harding Premiere Realty on why they took the lead sponsorship:

“As business owners, real estate professionals and investors, this event speaks to the core of our belief system for success – leadership, vision, and above all, action. Sponsorship allows us to give back to the community we live in and help those like us who will take the ‘lead’ in this upcoming period of economic growth where the possibilities are endless!”
