HISTORY

The CreateOne Leadercast began like most great ideas do: with an innovative leader and a simple vision.

That leader is John C. Maxwell, and his vision was to create a different kind of leadership conference. One that was affordable and open to leaders from every background. One that gave individuals and organisations the chance to gather in their own communities, build relationships with each other and grow as leaders.

It wasn’t long before that vision became a reality, and in 2000, the Maximum Impact Simulcast was born. The first Maximum Impact Simulcast was a simple half-day, classroom style event with John Maxwell as the sole presenter. It has since grown into a full-day experiential conference with a number of world-class leaders speaking about the leadership principles that matter most.

In 2007, Giant Impact acquired Maximum Impact, John Maxwell’s company that produced the Maximum Impact Simulcast. Like Maximum Impact, Giant Impact’s focus is on developing leaders at all levels, and its values and philosophies align with those of John Maxwell. Giant Impact began producing the Maximum Impact Simulcast beginning in 2008.

On May 7, 2010, Giant Impact will celebrate the tenth anniversary of this life-changing leadership event. It is a milestone that has us looking to the future with even bigger dreams and a few exciting changes, the first of which is a new name: Leadercast.

We believe the name Leadercast represents the evolution of this leadership event and communicates our responsibility to cast vision to those we lead. Leadercast also supports John Maxwell’s original vision of connecting leaders and partnering with fellow leadership organisations, Leadercast sites and Leadercast attendees.

CreateOne (International Partner of Giant Impact) is coordinating this premiere leadership event in Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific and Asia via delayed videocast presentations between July and November 2010.

We hope you’ll join us in 2010 as CreateOne and Giant Impact celebrate our ten-year anniversary with 70,000 leaders at over 500 Leadercast locations internationally.  We will mark this milestone by doing what we do best: inspiring and developing leaders to make a lasting impact on the lives of those they lead.
