Transformational Leadership and Ford Taylor head to Melbourne Australia to share much more than the ‘what’ of leadership

MELBOURNE, Australia -- Transformational Leadership presents Ford Taylor and The 2018 Australia Transformational Leadership Seminar. The event is being held August 7-9, 2018, at Hillview Community Church, 7 Seismic Court, Rowville, VIC 3178.

By teaching, training, and equipping people to understand the root of leadership, Ford Taylor delivers the tools, techniques, and behaviors that are required today to become a "relactional leader" - who can lead both relational and transactional people - while teaching them to become leaders themselves.

Many leadership conferences and seminars put a focus on the "what" of Leadership and use examples based on linear successes and unrelated stories that don't tend to really teach, but only to inspire. (OR unrelated stories that, while they may inspire, do not tend to really teach.)

Ford Taylor takes a Relactional Leadership approach to training. From the relational to the transactional, Transformational Leadership is more than just the "what" of Leadership. The focus spans across the how, who, what, when, where, and why of effective leadership.

To lead through influence rather than control allows for healthier relationships and greater results.

"If you have influence with at least one person, that makes you a leader. An organization is any time two or more people are in a relationship. So, everyone is a leader in some organization or sphere in which they live, work, and play," says Ford Taylor.

About Ford Taylor:

Ford Taylor is a leadership solutions trainer, strategist, and speaker. With a primary emphasis and clear focus on both the people who serve an organization and also on the business or organization itself, Ford shares straight-forward, practical solutions through authentic leadership training and individualized leadership consulting.

EVENT DETAILS:

The 2018 Australia Transformational Leadership Seminar will be held August 7-9, 2018 (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday), 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Hillview Community Church, 7 Seismic Court, Rowville, VIC 3178.

General admission tickets range from $249 to $499 a person. Ticket prices include breakfast and lunch buffets, as well as workbook materials.

Tickets are available online at: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/transformational-leadership-workshop-with-ford-taylor-tickets-47010071389

"I'm so excited to be part of this show," Nina says. "It's ideal to make people laugh while providing awareness - sharing wit and wisdom."

About Nina G:

Nina G is an entertainer and educator. She first stepped onto the stage after she was inspired by her experience at NSA where she was challenged to change her relationship with stuttering.

Nina is part of the comedy troupe, The Comedians with Disabilities Act, which brings laughter and awareness to audiences of all ages across the country.

Nina is also the author of a children's book, "Once Upon An Accommodation: A Book about Learning Disabilities," that helps children and adults advocate for their rights as a person with a disability.

"With Tom Waits-like prose, you'll be out hipped," says John Densmore of The Doors.

The book is for sale on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1945572809/.

Noir At The Bar is hosted by authors S.W. Lauden ("Hang Time") and Eric Beetner ("The Devil Doesn't Want Me"). In addition to Rex Weiner, guests include authors Jo Perry, Nikki Dolson, Phoef Sutton, Thomas Perry, Joan Renner, Lida Sederis, and Lisa Brackmann.

He was a staff reporter at Variety and is one of the founding editors of High Times Magazine and co-author of The Woodstock Census (Viking), one of the key texts analyzing the impact of the Sixties Generation on American society. As one of the first writers brought on board to launch the TV series "Miami Vice," Weiner wrote the now classic 9th episode, "Glades." He is a co-founder of the Todos Santos Writers Workshop.
