I'm in West Palm Beach, FL, attending a Live event with John Maxwell to become a certified trainer/ coach/speaker. I've studied his books on leadership for years!! I absolutely love his attitude and overall philosophy. I've tried to infuse his leadership principles into my practice, as well as build a "culture" in my clinics.
Today, we got some heavy duty teaching from the master himself. I'm not quite positive what I intend to do with my new certification, but I'm sure that will all be clear in time.
I had to do a five minute speech today. I told Jake's story, with a little Ellie Sue tossed in. Regarding the perfect timing of her birth and the preordained short life Jake had. A life of purpose. And now realizing the reason I didn't have kids til nearly 40. God had a plan for me...as encourager, support to my sister, playmate to Jake, in my childbearing years. And nothing I would trade at all now. The theme of my speech began, "Our life's tragedies sometimes manifest our biggest blessings".
I haven't updated my iProducts, so I can't use iCloud to move my pics to my iPad. Dang! More on this great experience when I'm back safe and sound in Louisiana!
Nighty night,
Mo
Oh I like that theme/sentence, Mo! Everything happens for a reason and at a specific time, even tragedies!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear more!
I've been in John Maxwell's presence and had the opportunity to talk with him...he IS so articulate. I was like a sponge..soaking it up. Nothing like maintaining a positve attitude for anything less is just a nesting place for failure. I know you have been blessed in this course. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteMo,
ReplyDeleteNot sure your aware of a $5 adapter from amazon that will allow you to load your pics from your SD camera card straight to the iPad. No cloud needed. Wish u were close - I could use a life coach! And I love your culture at your clinics!
I have taken the opportunity, several years ago, to be Live in John Maxwell's presence. It was very rewarding. I've also attended several similcast (I'm sure I spelled that wrong) where he taught. He is an amazing man with lots to share. Can't wait for you to use your new information.

ReplyDeleteI bet your speech was fabulous. If you speak like you write your blogs, I'm sure you had everyone's attention.
ReplyDeleteI know you are having a great time. Missing your post. Becky
