Craig Groschel Opening Talk at GLS 2022

August 6, 2022 by Dan Sullivan

Here are my notes from the opening of the Global Leadership Summit 2022. It was a good talk and a lot of the things he mentioned came up from other speakers throughout the next 2 days. Particularly the paradoxes. There were other speakers that either exemplified or talked about things like being confident and humble, direct and kind, or empowering and controlling.

At the end he asked people to stand to show which one of the 3 we wanted to work on the most. I felt stupid standing up in a room of 540 people to say I wanted to work on being humble. I stood during the 3rd choice because that was the one that resonated with me the least. If I get the Confident and Humble points, and the Driven and Healthy sounds relatable, maybe the Focused and Flexible is the one I need to improve in.

My nametag listed “Various” as my organization, so some FOCUS would be good!

Christ in Our Flesh and His

December 20, 2019 by Dan Sullivan

I love the way this was put:

Jesus clothed Himself with us. He put on flesh and died, then put on our flesh and lives!
Mark Weever

I love the way Mark put this. It’s true. Jesus was God in the flesh. He came and lived a life that every one of us lives, except He lived the 0 A.D. version. Hebrews says He was tempted in every single way that we are tempted. That doesn’t mean He thought about looking at things on the Internet or had an easy and secret way to cheat on His taxes.

It means that when Jesus was here, He could do just the same thing Adam did and that all of us have done. He could have ignored God and lived by His own will.

Instead, He gave up His own will and lived for the Father’s will. That will sent Jesus to the cross for all of the rest of us.

Strive Masiyiwa at the 2018 Global Leadership Summit

Here are my notes from his talk at the 2018 global leadership Summit. There is so much going on in Africa that the rest of the world needs to pay attention to and learn from.

I love his philosophy that if your business solves the problem people will seek you out. He wasn’t passionate about cell phones or education, he just wanted to solve problems.

How about that last line for employee appreciation?

Respect, with reverence, the people that work for us – especially volunteers. They could all go elsewhere to work toward someone else’s vision.

T.D. Jakes Talk at the 2018 Global Leadership Summit

September 6, 2018 by Dan Sullivan

Whenever T.D. Jakes speaks at the Global Leadership Summit, I get excited. I’m not sure I can tolerate listening to sermons or church from him, but I do really enjoy his talks at the GLS for some reason.

He was inspiring, that is for sure. I especially liked what he said about Kentucky Fried Chicken starting in the right time and the right place. KFC would never get started now. It started so strong when it did because people loved it when their moms cooked chicken but the moms were all going to work. The moms and dads loved it and the kids did too.

The Wright brothers deal was strong too. There are things that are too awesome for the people or the setting in which they start. Like my coffee backpack! It was so awesome!

The general point is to be passionate about something and then find ways to act on that passion. Assuming it is a passion that is led by the Lord and inspired by advancing the Kingdom of Heaven, that is right on. Find the thing that God has called you to do and then work at it with all of your heart!

Juliet Funt 2018 Global Leadership Summit Talk

August 30, 2018 by Dan Sullivan

Here are my notes from Juliet Funt speaking at the 2018 GLS. I think her best point was the Yellow list for delayed communication. Like Seth Godin saying the best email writing software is Notepad.exe. There are things that you feel like saying that aren’t always the best thing to say. After a bit, you’ll be able to say it better.

You can tell from my notes when someone’s talk is more story-based. She told a lot of neat stories that distracted me from taking notes. I totally forget what the point of the girl on candid camera was all about, but it was funny.
