THE UNCONFERENCE - A Participant-Driven Gathering - Hunter Valley Hotel Academy, Kurri Kurri NSW - 12 - 14 June 2013
From Effectiveness to greatness - Being effective as individuals and organisations is no longer optional in today's world - it's the price of entry to the playing field. SURVIVING, THRIVING, INNOVATING, EXCELLING AND LEADING in this new reality will require us to build on and reach beyond effectiveness. The call and need of a new ear is for greatness. It's for fulfilment, passionate execution and significant contribution. It's about seeing and harnessing the power of a third dimension, that meets the central challenge of the new Knowledge Worker Age. This 8th Habit is to find your voice and inspire others to find theirs. Stephen R. Covey The 8th Habit - From Effectiveness to Greatness!
