Leading By Example
posted (October 26, 2018)
Most of us would like to be better leaders, but today about 100 or so Belizeans attended a conference to actually learn how to do that. It was hosted by certified trainer and coach Andrew Usher, and the conference was titled "Live2Lead".

This morning, we got a chance to speak with Usher, to get a sort of cliff notes version of his lesson for the participants. Here's what he had to say about what the topics that the conference focused on:

Andrew Usher - Certified Coach, Speaker & Trainer
"Live to lead is a leader development experience that's re-broadcasted by John Maxwell Certified coaches, speakers and trainers. What Live 2 Lead is is a leadership development experience that really speaks into leadership and growth in personal and professional development."

"The theme of this year's event is really "Leadershift", and it speaks specifically to the different shifts that one must make in order to become a better leader. So, it's not just focusing on inspirational and motivational stuff. It's actually practical, key take-aways of what we must all do to become a better leader."

"Some of the skill, for example, are the cycle of success. Anytime you're doing a new venture or experimenting with anything, it's test, fail, learn, re-enter."

"When you're doing things, you must fail often, and fail fast, but you need to learn, so that you can always improve."

"We don't want our participants to just come here, have a great day, have a great event, and then go back into their daily lives, and then life happens. The afternoon session actually talks specifically about what we call the terror barrier, and understanding your mind, and how that actually applies to overcoming your self-limiting beliefs, because really and truly, your environment, which create those self-limiting beliefs is what actually holds or hinders us from achieving what we really wanna do. And understanding that basic concept, and understanding what you can do to actually challenge and overcome that, is what's gonna be key to this event, today."

The Live2Lead conference concluded this afternoon at 4 p.m.
