The event is free to Ivy Tech students, faculty and staff and is open to the public for $10 a ticket.

This presentation is a part of an annual series, sponsored by Banterra Bank. Extend Group, Evansville-based consultants specializing in human and organizational development partnered with Ivy Tech to bring Kubicek to campus for this event.
“We are delighted to welcome Jeremie Kubicek,” said Daniela Vidal, chancellor of the Ivy Tech Evansville region. “Through our work with EXTEND GROUP, Ivy Tech is already a beneficiary of Kubicek’s philosophy, and we are excited to make his personal message available to our students and business professionals in the community.”
Kubicek has built an international network of experts around bold, new thinking to attract and retain employees. He has made it his mission to provide the tools leaders can use to elevate people and transform their lives.
“In light of the last several years, I see that people are yearning for two specific things – hope and peace,” Kubicek said. “As leaders, we can’t give away something we don’t possess ourselves. I want to give people these practical tools, so they in turn can unlock the potential of people they lead.”
Shawn Collins, Founder of EXTEND GROUP and a certified GiANT consultant said, “This is a rare opportunity to hear an acknowledged master at crafting organizations everyone wants to work for. “If you have a responsibility for leading others, I urge you to put this event on your calendar.”
