Be The One Leadercast 2010 WNY leaders from education, business and nonprofit groups converged on Medaille’s campuses in Buffalo, Amherst and Rochester on Friday, May 7, for the Chick-fil-A Be the One Leadercast. This all-day teleconference featured ten leadership experts, including Jim Collins, author of Good to Great, and Ed Bastian, president of Delta Air Lines. Over 250 participants registered for the event, with groups coming from the Jewish Community Center of Rochester, M&T Bank, Baldwin Richardson, Gallina Development, ADT and Medaille. “The people who present at Leadercast are both inspiring people and great teachers,” says Matt Petroski ‘09 MBA. “My learning at Leadercast included lessons from everyone who presented. I recommend the experience to anyone who is or aspires to be a better leader or better person. Now it’s up to me to apply the lessons I learned.”
“[The program had] something everyone could enjoy because there was such a variety in the speakers. They are so knowledgeable in their fields and in leadership. They have so much to offer for leaders looking to refresh their skills or just beginning the journey towards leadership.”

“I thought I could enhance my leadership skills that I use on my job and in my community. The most memorable part of the day was knowing that I was one of the 65,000 Leadercast attendees in over 500 locations who were learning about leadership. I felt that I was part of something big.”
