Heather: WE HEAR THE PHRASE
THIS PERSON WAS A BORN LEADER.
WHAT EXACTLY DOES THAT MEAN?
IF WE'RE NOT A BORN LEADER, HOW
CAN WE BECOME ONE.
Tim: WITH A PREVIEW AT THE
LEADERSHIP EVENT TAKING PLACE IN
YOUR COMMUNITY, H 20 LEADERSHIP,
AND BUSINESS PARTNER OF THE
GLOBAL LEADERSHIP SUMMIT.
WELCOME.
Guest: THANK YOU.
I SAW YOUR PICTURES AT THE TOP
OF THE SHOW.
Tim: I'M SO SORRY.
[LAUGHTER]
Heather: DON'T WE AGE WELL?
Guest: I'M WONDERING IF
YOU'RE GOING TO SHOW MY PICTURE
FROM THE '70s WITH LONG HAIR.
Heather: ACTUALLY, THIS JUST
IN.
Tim: IF YOU BROUGHT IT, WE
ABSOLUTELY WOULD.
NOT A PROBLEM AT ALL.
Heather: DO YOU FEEL LIKE
YOU WERE A LEADER IN HIGH
SCHOOL?
Guest: NO.
I WAS BORN THE SHYEST GUY IN THE
WORLD!
I KID YOU NOT.
I CAME TO THE STATES TO BE A
DOCTOR.
WAR WAS IN LEBANON.
AND I FOUND UP ON THE FRONT,
WHICH BROUGHT ME OUT OF MY
SHELL.
Tim: KIND OF LIKE A DOCTOR.
Guest: KIND OF LIKE A
DOCTOR.
THE TRUTH IS, YOU CAN BE A
LEADER IF YOU'RE NOT BORN A
LEADER.
BUT IT'S LIKE GOING TO THE GYM.
YOU CAN'T GO TO GYM ONE DAY AND
EXPECT TO BE IN SHAPE.
IT'S CONTINUOUS.
IT'S HELPED ME SO MUCH.
SOMEBODY SAID YOU'RE THE AVERAGE
OF THE FIVE PEOPLE YOU SPEND THE
MOST TIME WITH.
WELL, THIS DAY IN AGE, WE'RE
SPENDING A LOT OF TIME ONLINE,
HEARING NEGATIVE THINGS.
WE REALLY NEED TO BE AROUND
PEOPLE WHO CAN BE INSPIRE US TO
BE BETTER PEOPLE, BETTER
RELATIONSHIP PEOPLE, BETTER TEAM
MEMBERS.
Tim: IF BECOMING A LEADER IS
LIKE FITNESS, THIS IS KIND OF
LIKE A BOOT CAMP FOR LEARNING.
Guest: THAT'S RUSHLIGHT.
Tim: TELL US WHAT PEOPLE CAN
EXPECT.
Guest: TWO DAYS IN
CHAMPAIGN-URBANA.
THE EVENT WILL HAVE 400,000
ATTENDEES AT 500 SITES ACROSS
120 COUNTRIES!
Heather: WOW!
Guest: SIMULCASTING IS A
GOOD THING, BECAUSE SPEAKERS CAN
BE IN MULTIPLE PLACES AT THE
SAME TIME.
BUT YOU DON'T MISS ANYTHING IF
YOU ATTEND AN EVENT IN URBANA AT
THE VINEYARD.
IT'S TWO DAYS, 15 SPEAKERS,
DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS, BUSINESS,
FAITH, OTHERWISE.
AND EVERY TIME I GO, I TAKE A
REALLY THICK NOTEBOOK.
AND I CAN'T TAKE --
Heather: NOTES FAST ENOUGH.
Guest: ABSOLUTELY, YES.
Heather: TELL ME WHY WE
SHOULD GO.
Guest: RIGHT.
ACTUALLY I MENTIONED THE FACT
THAT WE CONTINUOUSLY NEED TO
ADJUST OR ATTITUDE.
WE'RE FACED WITH A LOT OF
NEGATIVY AND TOUGH THINGS.
I'VE BECOME A BETTER HUSBAND,
MANAGER, BETTER FRIEND.
IT ALLOWS ME TO UNDERSTAND
PEOPLE BETTER.
I ASSUME POSITIVE INTENT.
I ASSUME THE BEST IN PEOPLE.
THAT'S IMPORTANT.
IF WE WANT TO BE HAPPIER AND
HEALTHIER, WE NEED TO BE
INVESTING IN OURSELVES.
Tim: PEOPLE HEAR LEADER AND
TURN THE SWITCH OFF, AND SAY I'M
NOT THE LEADER.
I WORK AT ARBY'S OR I'M A
STAY-AT-HOME MOM OR WHATEVER.
I IMAGINE THERE'S PRINCIPLES
THAT APPLY TO EVERYONE.
Guest: ABSOLUTELY.
WE HAVE MOTHERS THAT ATTEND.
SOMETIMES THEY SEND THEIR
CHILDREN, BECAUSE THEY'RE OFF IN
THE SUMMER.
JUST TO HELP THEM IMPROVE.
WE HAVE FRONT-LINE WORKERS,
MANAGERS, EXECUTIVES COME.
WE ARE A LEADER IN EVERYTHING.
EVEN IF YOU'RE OUT WITH YOUR
FRIENDS AT A RESTAURANT, ONE OF
THEM IS A LEADER.
WE ARE CALLED TO BE LEADERS IN
EVERY PART OF OUR LIVES.
Heather: YOU MENTIONED KIDS
NOW.
WHO IS THIS GEARED TOWARD?
WHAT AGE GROUP?
Guest: IT'S REALLY NOT FOR
YOUNG KIDS.
IF YOU'RE IN COLLEGE, I WOULD
LOVE TO HAVE EVERY COLLEGE
STUDENT ATTEND, SO THEY CAN BE
PREPARED FOR THE WORKPLACE.
A LOT OF TIME, WE GET INTO THE
WORKPLACE, WE HAVE THE HEAD
KNOWLEDGE AND NOT THE
RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE DOWN
PATH.
Tim: THE TICKET FOR THIS
INCLUDES BOTH DAYS?
BOTH DAYS.
Tim: HOW DOES THAT WORK IN
TERMS OF WHAT IS INCLUDED WHEN
YOU GET THERE, WHEN YOU LEAVE,
THAT KIND OF STUFF?
IT'S 15 SPEAKERS.
REALLY, IT'S FLEXIBLE.
NOBODY IS GOING TO TAKE
ATTENDANCE.
IF YOU NEED TO TAKE A CALL, YOU
CAN GET OUT.
THERE'S BREAKS IN BETWEEN.
FOR ONE TICKET, YOU SHOW UP FOR
ALL TWO DAYS.
AND YOU CAN COME AND GO AS YOU
PLEASE.
WE'D LOVE FOR YOU TO ATTEND THE
WHOLE THING.
IF YOU CAN'T, WE UNDERSTAND.
Heather: WE'RE LOOKING AT
YOUR VIDEO OF PAST SUMMITS.
AND SOME OF THE GREAT SPEAKERS
YOU HAVE COMING.
ANY YOU'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO?
Guest: MANY PEOPLE ARE
LOOKING FORWARD TO PATRICK
LANCIONI, A WELL-KNOWN NATIONAL
AND INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT
SPEAKER.
YOU CAN FIND THEM ON THE
WEBSITE.
Heather: TO THINK 400,000
PLUS PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE
WATCHING AT ONE TIME, HOPEFULLY,
THEY HAVE A LOT OF TAKE-AWAYS.
Guest: I KNOW I WILL.
Tim: WE'RE GIVING AWAY A
COUPLE OF PASSES TODAY ON
"ciLIVING."
Heather: THANK YOU FOR DOING
THAT.
Guest: MY PLEASURE.
