Courageous Leadership: Owning Your Own Success
In today’s challenging business environment Courageous Leadership is the key for organizations and
executives to distinguish themselves from the competition. Courageous Leaders have the confidence
and integrity to make the right decisions even when it is difficult, to take risks on new ideas, and to take
ownership for the important work that success requires.
For the past 35 years, NBMBAA Conferences have provided opportunities for courageous leaders to get
the knowledge, access, and resources that are critical to stay on top. Whether you take advantage of
our world-class training, executive coaches, or famous career expo, join us in Houston in 2013 and you
will leave with the tools for Owning Your Own Success.
