Leading Authorities...THE SOURCE for America's Top CEOs

Today more than ever, organizations want to hear from someone who has practiced what they are preaching. Leading Authorities is the exclusive representative of some of America's top CEOs--men and women who have performed dramatic corporate turnarounds, engineered feats of marketing wizardry, and been consistently praised by peers and industry observers.

AG Lafley, the former chairman and CEO of Procter & Gamble, speaks on innovation, strategy, and culture. Each talk is an unprecedented look into the mind behind one of the largest, and most successful, corporations in the world, and he is perfect for groups of top management teams, global leadership executives, and high-potential leaders who can meaningfully impact the future course of their company and their industry.

Jim Donald, the former CEO of Starbucks, built the brand during its peak growth period. In each highly customized speech, he sheds light on what works in businesses large and small.  Jim, a fierce advocate for front line employees, believes it is people that make the biggest difference, and his talks focus on how to make the most of those around you. 

Gordon Bethune, the former CEO of Continental Airlines, is celebrated for leading the company from worst to first -- a case study still taught at Harvard Business School. He reveals a unique brand of management wisdom that prizes employee engagement and empowerment, and unprecedented customer service. Each presentation is as entertaining as it is informative.

Carlos Gutierrez, the former chairman and CEO of Kellogg's Company, is one of the best leadership speakers I have ever seen. He goes to great lengths to customize his speeches, and shares his belief in hiring the right people, developing great teams, and communicating effectively. His personal story from his days as a delivery boy for Kellogg's in Mexico City, to his rise as one of the most respected CEOs, inspires everyone that they can make a difference.  

John Hofmeister, the straight-shooting former CEO of Shell Oil Company, presents a powerful keynote based on his new book Why We Hate the Oil Companies. Finding a speaker with Hofmeister's level of candor, insight, and urgency is rare, and he proposes a practical plan for how the U.S. can achieve both energy security and affordability.

Dawn Hudson, the former president and CEO of Pepsi, refers to the voice of the client and provides a tailored message to an audience in search of a change of business structure and strategy. She also discusses the balance between work and life, and the choices that people must make when pursuing the road to optimum happiness and professional satisfaction.

Tom Donohue, the president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, is a DC insider with  unflagging energy and influence. He knows how to rally an audience and shares a behind-the-scenes perspective on the how the Chamber's legislative achievements and challenges will affect your industry.
