Dear Friends,  
If you know a CEO who MUST  be at this meeting and bring him or her.  If you or your CEO guest is interested in considering Vistage membership they will stay for lunch and join the afternoon Executive Session to learn more about the advantages of Vistage membership.  You must register with me to attend.  Here is the announcement.  Les   We are pleased to announce that Frank J. De Raffele Jr. will be speaking with South Florida CEOs on the subject of Leading Diverse Teams to Greater Productivity Wednesday, August 8th, from 8:30 AM. to 11:30 AM. at the offices of Money Concepts International, 11440 N. Jog Road, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33418.    Mr. De Raffele is a New York Times best-selling author and CEO of Entrepreneurial Excellence Worldwide, Inc.  He believes, “the only way for depressed areas of the country to truly pull themselves out of their slow economy is by small to medium size business CEO’s getting laser focused on growth and profitability.”  “When each CEO becomes what I call ‘selfish’, it allows them to be myopic about building a healthy company with sustainable growth.  To the rest of us, this means:  more jobs, higher salaries, better benefits, discretionary income, job security and a better quality of life.”   I am bringing Frank De Raffele here from New York because he has helped business leaders across the globe improve leadership skills and because smart CEO’s all seek constant learning and better performance through better leadership. My Vistage members and I are sponsoring this event at no cost to local CEOs as a way of sharing our Vistage advantage with the South Florida business community.  CEO’s working together to enhance each other’s success.  Frank De Raffele agrees: “The better we all work together, the stronger we will become and the better able to lead a rapidly changing world.”  

 This is your personal invitation to attend the meeting with other CEO’s from throughout the region.  The Frank De Raffele session begins at 8:30 AM and will continue until about 11:30 AM.  If you are interested in exploring Vistage membership for yourself, we invite you to stay for lunch.  You will be able to network with Vistage CEO Members and learn why and how Vistage member companies outperform their competition.   Registration is required.  Please contact Les Deck by email at: Les @lesdeckconsulting.com or by phone at: 561-740-4774.   Click here to share this post.
