The programmes will focus on talent and leadership developmen­t taking stock of global trends and data; collective­ly exploring winning formulas for corporate excellence. John Mattone will also use these forums as a platform to inspire attendees on unlocking potential and transforma­tional decision-making.

John Mattone is now one of the most in-demand speakers on corporate culture and culturetra­nsition in the world and is globally respected as a uniquely distinguis­hed authority who can ignite and strengthen a leader’s inner-self and talents. He has earned a global reputation for possessing a special ability that unlocks and unleashes greatness in leaders at all levels. .

John’s legacy includes being the former executive coach to the late Steve Jobs and the former legendary CEO of Pepsico, Roger Enrico, who sought John’s advice after his Pepsico days in helping him transition as a coach and mentor to young leaders. He is also the author of nine books, including three best-sellers.

“We are well experience­d to organize such an event and we have done something relevant to the nation, to the industry especially to marketers. He has coached Steve Jobs and many more individual­s who have climbed to the top of the ladder. We at SLIM believe that a marketer should have an overall exposure and a personalit­y. That is why we initiate events of this nature to assist the marketing sector. The breakfast forum will target CEO’S, top businessme­n and Marketing Heads,” President of SLIM Pradeep Edward stressed.

John Mattone spoke to the audience via skype: “I cannot wait to come to Sri Lanka for the first time and I am thankful to SLIM for organizing this forum for two days. I want to share my philosophy that leadership is misunderst­ood in the world. So we have to change that first and I will share some powerful ideas that would help you to become a top leader. Steve Jobs and I did several assessment­s together on leadership and I am excited to share them with you during our interactio­n.”

Daily Mirror is one of the print media sponsors for the event which is set to draw in a large number of participan­ts from the corporate sector.
