Renowned speaker to address leadership at Women's Networking Luncheon
The Fairfield Area Chamber of Commerce will host speaker Mary Pat Knight, founder of Northern Illinois-based Leaders Inspired^TM for a special 90-length Women's Networking Luncheon on Wednesday, March3, from 12:00-1:30 at the Fairfield Golf & Country Club.  Knight, will lead a vibrant conversation about inspiration and leadership and will cover a new vision for business leadership, creating expanded and inclusive conversations, accountability and how to inspire others to their best.

The presentation is designed to create a deeper level of conversation around leadership that defies the old paradigms of command and control.  The participants will listen as Knight lays out the framework for inside out leadership - where leadership meets personal development.  They will also learn methods of inspiring themselves as well as others into active and authentic leadership.

"Leadership has become a buzz word in today's business environment", says Knight, "but the cultivation of leadership that reflects our authentic selves requires incredible personal discipline and perseverance.  This is where the personal development movement has a payoff and what I know about myself is expressed a way that moves others into purposeful action."

At the sold-out 2009 Peace Summit in Vancouver, His Holiness the Dalai Lama made a proclamation: "The world will be saved by the western woman."  Knight is committed to helping women cultivate their expression of leadership.  She notes many women try to mimic men in the workplace.  They do this because the male executive has been romanticized in the media and pop culture.  When women do this, they end up dissatisfied.

Instead of mimicking men, she teaches her clients how to embrace their femininity and how to show up as POWERFUL women.  She coaches women to accept who they are and what they stand for.  By cultivating their strengths, she shows women how to come into their own in the workplace.

"When you master your leadership and become purposeful in your life, your business will up-level, you will save time, money and energy and you will step into a level of purpose and success that you have only dreamed about.  Your impact and your ripple will change your world and have a lasting impact on many others around you", Knight is often found telling her students and clients.

Mary Pat Knight is the founder of Leaders Inspired www.LeadersInspired.com, based in Northern Illinois.  She brings 26 years of executive leadership to the table, in an inspired career where she has been fortunate to have managed every functional area of a business.  She was an executive with Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises, The National Restaurant Association and founder of The Interfusion Experience.  Prior to founding Leaders Inspired, she was the Chief Operating Officer of Food For Thought Enterprises.  Her passion is to create a new conversation about inspired leadership through business coaching, mentoring and organizational consulting with entrepreneurs and small businesses.
