Academy for Chief Executives' first Thought Leaders Conference a great success

June 24, 2010 - PRLog -- Over 40 delegates enjoyed The Academy for Chief Executives’ first Thought Leaders Conference recently at The Village Hotel in Elstree, Herts.

Says Academy Founder Brian Chernett “We were delighted by reactions from the delegates. The  Conference allowed senior business leaders to hear more about the successful work of the Academy, to develop a strategic plan that will really expand their businesses (based on my experience of coaching and mentoring thousands of Chief Executives), and to benefit from key financial insights from the leading economist Roger Martin Fagg. I also launched my new book The Entrepreneur Within at the Conference.”

“Although The Academy offers Chief Executives throughout the UK and Ireland a unique way through which to continuously learn and develop their businesses, we wanted to reach out to the wider business community and the Conference has allowed us to do this, highly successfully.”

The first Thought Leader Conference took place on 16 June 2010. After a morning listening to the keynote speakers and networking with other successful business leaders, in the afternoon delegates worked together in groups of ten for coaching and mentoring, chaired by an experienced Academy facilitator.

Further Thought Leaders Conferences are planned for later in the year.
