(Atlanta, GA)  May 18, 2009 – On Tuesday, May 12, 2009, firstPRO Staffing and Executive Search hosted a “Change is Good” luncheon at the Four Seasons Hotel in Atlanta.  From 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., guests were invited to enjoy a delicious lunch and hear from keynote speaker Bill Schwarz, Founder of The CEO Alliance.

 

“Our goal is to discuss thought provoking issues, and send everyone away with knowledge and ideas that can benefit their companies,” says April Nagel, CEO of firstPRO Staffing and Executive Search. “During this interactive discussion, guests learned how to understand and adapt to the shifting dynamics of the workplace.”

As an internationally recognized expert in the design and implementation of organizational growth strategies, Bill Schwarz is a sought after keynote speaker and serves as a consultant to many Fortune 500 companies.  He also serves on the board of a number of rapid-growth organizations, and is the author of several books including Building A Generative Organization, Six Strategies for Controlling Your Organizational Destiny and The Generative Way.

After a distinguished 30-year career, including successfully running his own businesses, founding and directing two Executive MBA programs and building a television network, Schwarz formed the CEO Alliance and established The Center for Inspired Performance.  Through this group, CEOs align their organizations around their highest leverage points to achieve optimum growth and inspired performance.

 

“We spend too much time trying to change other people and not enough time trying to change ourselves,” Schwarz says. “If you want to change the future, you must first master yourself.”
