Event Info
The Maximum Impact Simulcast is a one-day leadership training event broadcast live from the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta to approximately 500 host sites throughout the nation. In Hagerstown, the event will be hosted at Bridge of Life Church. (Directions)
The event provides extremely valuable leadership insights from world-class communicators. It's a rare opportunity to hear these experts within your own community and simultaneously develop business relationships with other local leaders.
John Maxwell, New York Times best-selling author and speaker, first envisioned the Maximum Impact Simulcast as a way to combine his voice in the community with his desire to reach leaders at the heart level. What started out nine years ago as a half day, classroom-format event with John Maxwell has since become a full day, experiential conference featuring 10 authors, leadership experts and practitioners.
At the 2009 event, the speakers will address a variety of leadership topics including:
- How to converge people with organizational purpose
- How to overcome personal and professional adversity
- How to embrace change
- The keys to building strong teams
- Best practices for balancing the needs of customers, employees and company shareholders

"My first introduction to John Maxwell was reading the book The 21 Most Powerful Minutes in a Leader's Day. I began to read the book daily and began to apply the principles as a head coach and as a leader. It was a timely book for me in a new position as head coach. I needed some good sound leadership principles, and found that through the Maximum Impact Simulcast and John Maxwell. John has helped me quite a bit in learning how to lead. Leadership is a growing thing. You can't just think I have it mastered, because you never really do."

"There is more to leadership than just being out in front or charisma. Leadership is built over time. Leaders are made not born. Here you see the values that go into leadership and the importance of building a strong team. People will take away the understanding that there is more than just getting the job done. The basis of trust is individual values, and also the basis of a team. The values being taught are crucial, as they are the backbone to teamwork and trust."
— General William Lennox, Former Commandant, West Point Military Academy
