KeyBank Announces 2011 14-City Key4Women Forum
FORUM FOR WOMEN IN BUSINESS TO FEATURE LEADERSHIP EXPERT CINDY SOLOMON
CLEVELAND, March 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- KeyBank (NYSE: KEY), announced today its 2011 Key4Women Forum schedule featuring leadership and customer service expert and author Cindy Solomon, who returns to the Key4Women Forum for the second consecutive year. The Forum is designed to educate and empower women in business – business owners, executive women, decision makers and non-profit directors – through the insight and advice of a dynamic national speaker. Solomon will present "Creating a Culture of Courage: The New Leadership Challenge" at the Key4Women Forum in 14 cities from Maine to Alaska; the kickoff event will take place May 5th in Cleveland, Ohio.
Specific topics that Solomon will cover in the Key4Women Forum include:
- Four types of courage and when and how to invoke each for success in business
- Why finding the courage to move forward is the key to success in today's new business economy
- How to inspire courage, both personally and professionally
"Cindy understands that, in order for businesses to lead us out of the downturn, the business community needs to develop the courage to overcome the fear of risk and failure that the past few years have instilled. This courage will separate the businesses that survive from those that thrive," said Maria Coyne, founder of Key4Women and head of Key's Business Banking segment. "Cindy highlighted the principles of superior customer service so effectively in our 2010 Forum, and we're looking forward to her enthusiasm and inspiration again this year," Coyne added.
In addition to educating women in business, the distinctive Key4Women Forum raises thousands of dollars for local non-profit organizations each year, through the revenue generated by ticket sales.
