Senior Management professionals are urged to get their registration in for The Executive Connection's complimentary KEY Leadership Forum, to be held on November 26th 2010, for their chance to become better leaders.

Traditionally only available to those companies whose senior executives are existing TEC members, the KEY Leadership Forum will open its doors to second-tier management in non-TEC member companies. Due to popular demand from existing members, The Executive Connection is offering access to non-member companies with a view to starting a new KEY Executive group in December 2010.

"This is an opportunity for senior executives to enhance their personal and professional development in a supportive atmosphere so they are better prepared and more capable as a Managing Director or CEO when their times comes," TEC Chair and pioneer of the program, Keith Brooks, said.

The complimentary session on 26 November will include a presentation by one of TEC's esteemed speakers and information from TEC Chairs and members.

National Director of Digital Media for PR agency, PPR, Dena Vassallo will provide guests with insights and hands-on tips to harness the power of social media for business enterprise. Guests will also have the chance to hear from and meet with existing KEY Executive members and TEC Chairs.

"TEC has completely changed my perspective on the way I view the business and my role; TEC is bringing about significant professional and personal growth. TEC challenges me to think differently and it keeps me accountable," says Matthew Cook, Operations Manager of StairLock an existing KEY member.

The New KEY group will follow the existing three-pronged format: Members meet once a month with up to 18 senior executives from non-competing businesses to experience a half-day hands-on workshop with an esteemed TEC speaker, followed by an Executive Session where members use peer support to address business challenges.

In a separate session members can elect to meet with their TEC Chairs for a monthly one-to-one review where key issues and opportunities are discussed in depth in a confidential setting.

"This program offers members unparalleled opportunities to challenge their performance in their existing roles whilst preparing them to take on additional responsibilities," Keith says.

To register for the complimentary KEY Leadership Forum on 26 November 2010 from 11.30am-2.30pm at the Intercontinental Adelaide contact Sandy Haythorn: sandy.haythorn@tec.com.au
