GiANT Impact President & CEO Jeremie Kubicek Helps Atlanta Leaders Build InfluenceJan 21, 2009

Atlanta, GA — GiANT Impact President & CEO Jeremie Kubicek will share insights on influence with Atlanta entrepreneurs and small business owners on January 28 at the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce. He will speak about The Influence Model, his method for effectively impacting and awakening leaders.

"Business is a platform for influence," said Kubicek. "Giant influence always leads to impact."

Kubicek is an entrepreneur at heart. He has successfully built many business ventures, including co-founding a consulting firm and economics school in Moscow, Russia, leading marketing initiatives for a half-billion dollar merchandising firm in Los Angeles, CA, participating in more than 10 acquisitions in three years in the general merchandise distribution market, and starting two internet firms focused on niche specialties in the education and beauty supply industries, prior to forming GiANT.

Kubicek's passion for impacting leaders and influencing influencers has come from the experience of watching poor leaders conquer those they lead and stifle the growth of companies. Conversely, Kubicek has had the opportunity to serve with great leaders as these liberators provide freedom and opportunity for those they lead. It is their spirit that Kubicek has built GiANT to become.

"I have always believed that the most important role of a leader in business is to liberate their employees and those they reach to increase their capacity to influence positively," says Kubicek. "When you help people grow, it is amazing what their organizations can do."

On January 28, Kubicek will share how to use character, competence and influence to grow a business. His keynote is an event of the The Metro Atlanta Council for Entrepreneurship (MACE), a new entrepreneurial support initiative from the Gwinnett Chamber and GiANT Impact, a global leadership company.
