While many companies are lamenting the current recessionary conditions, others like KE&G and WS Nielsen are optimistically looking forward to an economic rebound. These companies are taking this opportunity to invest in the personal and professional development of their employees by sending them to a unique one-of-a-kind conference on leadership and personal growth: The Total Leadership Conference from Sept. 25-28, 2008 at beautiful Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Ga.

Instead of running scared, forward-looking companies are taking this time to prepare for the turnaround by doing what they can’t do when times are busy, like working on their employee’s leadership skills. Bottom line benefits of investing in employees now include increased productivity, creatively identifying hidden opportunities and earning long-term employee loyalty. A tough economy calls for better and bolder leadership. Such business building skills can be learned at The Total Leadership Conference. You can increase your profits during a recession by investing in your people.

Participants will take emotional intelligence evaluations and health surveys and then create development plans for their life and their career, as well as their health and wellness. But the conference doesn't end there. Each participant will receive a full year of coaching and follow-up from a life/leadership coach and a health/wellness coach. This follow-up ensures that the participants will reach their goals and complete their plans by offering them accountability, encouragement, and resources to help them along the path to personal mastery.

For every company that wants to make their people the best they can be, increase profits, and reduce their insurance and healthcare costs at the same time; for those individuals who are tired of not keeping their New Year's resolutions; for those who use their exercise equipment as clothes racks; for those who really want to change their lives for the better; this conference is for you.
