 Topic: “7Rs of Leadership and Life”

Speaker: Angelo J. Valletta, President & CEO, Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Northeastern Pennsylvania
 

Presentation:
Angelo Valletta’s new book “7Rs of Leadership and Life” is a month-long daily guide that identifies seven timeless truths:  
Respect – Resolve – Responsibility – Readiness – Right-Thing – Relationships - Recreation

Through the tips provided by the author, readers will learn impactful lessons that will help shape them professionally by increasing their ability to lead, as well as help them personally by gaining the tools to live a more successful and fulfilling life.    

Angelo will also discuss his strategic approach to growing revenue, reducing costs, and building relationships.   An organization is more than a producer of goods or services; it is part of the fabric of the communities in which it serves.  He will share what he has learned over his nearly four decades of experience in leadership roles in the financial, nonprofit, and public sectors, about how to  inspire and motivate every organization’s greatest asset, it’s people. People include: its staff (how to attract and retain top talent), its customers and the other stakeholders.
