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

Dan Sullivan · September 6, 2018 ·

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

Dan Sullivan · August 30, 2018 ·

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.

Angela Ahrendts Interview at the 2018 Global Leadership Summit

Here are the notes from the Angela Ahrendts interview at the 2018 Global Leadership Summit. She was interviewed by John C. Maxwell, which added his own colors to the conversation. She manages 66,000 people in Apple Retail space and a lot of the dialog they had that I didn’t catch was about the way they have a feedback system for Apple store employees to communicate up the ladder.

Here is her profile on LinkedIn

After the notes I have her TEDx talk on human connections.

Craig Groeschel Opening Talk at the 2018 Global Leadership Summit

Dan Sullivan · August 16, 2018 ·

Here are my notes from Craig Groeschel’s opening talk at the Global Leadership Summit (GLS 2018).

The opening addressed the Hybels scandal directly and I thought a lot of what he said about it was good. Nobody can accuse them of not addressing the issue as fully as it needed to be addressed at this event. At the same time, they moved on to the business of the day and didn’t dwell on failures of the past.

Yes, I’m convinced Craig Groeschel has three lungs. In the next 2 days, profound humility and furious resolve would come up a few more times. The line after the first few notes here is where he turned a corner and began his actual talk. Before that was intro.

That whole concept of

I notice.

You matter.

Is so relatable. Every part of any job I didn’t like could come back to those 2 traits lacking.

Here are links to the Bain Group Leadership Model that Craig Groeschel mentioned in his GLS talk.

So many good notes on this page. The trick is that I’m not typically the leader that is the bottleneck – I’ve worked for the leaders that were the bottlenecks. Hopefully, I’ll learn from the good ones instead.

The Grander Vision #1 piece was amazing. A judge is viewing arrested prostitutes as sex trafficking victims and started a program to treat them as such.
