Boon or Boondoggle? Maui conference more than a write-off for business leaders

Novato, Calif. (November 13, 2007) – Success With People (www.SuccessWithPeople.com) announced today the Maui Deep Dive, a conference for business executives and owners to be held at the Grand Wailea Resort Hotel and Spa from April 27 – May 3, 2008. Is this another opportunity to write off vacation as a business expense, or is it real business?

David Russell, CEO of Success With People, claims the work done during four half-day sessions, plus one-on-one meetings with executives attending the 40-50 person event, will inform and inspire participants to grow their business through better employee engagement. Topics include how to grow your business to the next level, develop momentum in your company, hire better people, develop managers who have no experience, and the role of the spousal advisor. Discussions during the sessions will assuredly not be dull.

But is it a legitimate use of executive time? Yes, Russell says, because "It is a small gathering of serial entrepreneurs and business executives. They will have opportunities that are not typically available to learn from their peers. Each session includes exercises to fully explore the topic, and attendees leave with specific actions that can be taken upon their return to the office. It's equally about removing yourself from office distractions and expanding your knowledge of how to be an effective leader."

But why a six-night stay on Maui when the conference could be done stateside in two days? Russell replies, "Every executive I meet lacks time and space to think clearly. At typical conferences our clients race from seminars to expo floors to parties. Our clients asked for the Maui Deep Dive because the event incorporates time to think along with time to learn from our sessions and one-on-one meetings with others. It is the ultimate business trip."

Although Russell's company works with over 125 Microsoft and Cisco partner firms, the event is open to all entrepreneurs and executives. Space is limited. For more information on the Maui Deep Dive, visit www.SuccessWithPeople.com.
