Coffey on leadership

Posted by Gerry Atkinson

Charlie Coffey, a former executive vice president of government affairs and business development for RBC spoke on "Seeing the Invisible and Leadership in Action" at last week's meeting.

Charlie's talk was engaging and informative. Some of his points were:

Leaders must look to the future
Have the ability to see what is under their noses
Have the ability to smile with your eyes
Outreach with your heart
Manage with your head

Throughout his career, Charlie Coffey has made community leadership a priority. He especially enjoys interacting with young people, entrepreneurs and aboriginal peoples, as well as investing time in projects and programs that help make a difference, including a local, national and international "children first" agenda.
