Jack Nicklaus shared insights about golf, leadership and family in a video interview at his North Palm Beach home on Monday with best-selling author John Maxwell. The video will air at the upcoming Maximum Impact Simulcast on May 8, 2009.

Nicklaus and Maxwell are three of the 10 thought leaders who will speak at the 2009 Maximum Impact Simulcast, a one-day leadership training event broadcast live from the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta to approximately 500 host sites throughout the nation.  Host sites use the event to build relationships in their communities and offer leadership training to their own teams.

"The event provides extremely valuable leadership insights from world-class communicators,” said David Hoyt, vice president of Giant Impact.  “It's a rare opportunity to hear these experts within your own community and simultaneously develop business relationships with other local leaders."

In Monday’s video interview, Nicklaus talked with Maxwell about the best and worst moments in his career, how he balances his priorities and the use of visualization in golf and business. He even gave Maxwell some golf tips on his backyard putting green.

John Maxwell first envisioned the Maximum Impact Simulcast as a way to combine his voice in the community with his desire to reach leaders at the heart level.

What started out nine years ago as a half day, classroom-format event with John Maxwell has since become a full day, experiential conference featuring 10 authors, leadership experts and practitioners.

Other speakers for the event include:

• Al Weiss, president of Walt Disney Parks & Resorts
• Bill George, Harvard Business School professor, former Medtronic CEO and author
• Linda Kaplan Thaler, creator of the Aflac ad campaign, CEO and author
• Kevin Carroll, former Nike creative, author and speaker
• Liz Murray, inspirational speaker
• Mark Sanborn, best-selling author of “The Fred Factor”
• Ernie Johnson, host of TNT’s “Inside the NBA”

“The Maximum Impact Simulcast is a rich source of ideas, insights, and strategies for truly effective leadership,” said Ed Emma, president and COO of Jockey International, Inc.  “The event serves to translate the most complex leadership dilemmas into basic principles and memorable lessons that we can apply in our daily work.”

At the 2009 event, the speakers will address a variety of leadership topics including:

• How to converge people with organizational purpose
• How to overcome personal and professional adversity
• How to embrace change
• The keys to building strong teams
• Best practices for balancing the needs of customers, employees and company shareholders
