"Each day we have an opportunity to change the culture of our workplaces, communities and families. It starts with each one of us. The Chick-Fil-A Leadercast is about living a life of authentic leadership."

That is the guiding concept behind the Chick-fil-A Leadercast, quoted from the program's Iowa/Illinois Quad-Cities affiliate website at www.qcleadercast.com. This annual leadership event is broadcast live from Atlanta, Georgia, to audiences in metro areas worldwide.

A video selection of four speakers from the 2011 Leadercast will be presented at the 2012 Chick-fil-A Leadercast Recap Lunch & Learn events, sponsored by Results Marketing and St. Ambrose University. "These well-known speakers will share exciting insights to jumpstart your leadership skills," said Todd Ashby, Managing Partner of Results Marketing (pictured at left). "Attendees can watch these enlightening videos and discuss their content with other area professionals. The sessions will be facilitated by St. Ambrose faculty members."

Only 75 seats are available at each Lunch & Learn event, so early register is suggested. The events will be held noon to 1 p.m. on January 6, February 3, March 2, and April 13, at the St. Ambrose University Professional Development Center, 1950 E. 54th Street, Davenport, Iowa. Each attendee will receive a complimentary Chick-fil-A lunch.

The following speakers will be featured at the 2012 Lunch & Learn events:
