Join me at Leadercast!
Posted by: | CommentsLast Tuesday, at noon EDT, I participated in something I’d never done before. In fact, it was something I’d never SEEN done before: an interview conducted via Twitter.
A “Twitterview,” if you will.
Suddenly, people used to seeing 1-2 Tweets per day from me, received one solid hour of them coming every 2-3 minutes. Sorry if that caught you by surprise. I especially apologize if you had your Twitter set up to send each of my Tweets as a text to your mobile phone. I bet your phone will never be the same.
Anyway, the Twitterview was courtesy of the Chick-fil-A Leadercast, coming up on May 6. Tripp Crosby, the emcee from last year, asked me loads of questions – most of them serious – and I did my best to answer in 140 characters or less.
Leadercast is a leadership conference for people from all walks of life. And because it’s simulcast from the live venue in Atlanta, Georgia, it’s for leaders from all over the world. This year’s speakers include Robin Roberts from ABC’s Good Morning America, Dan Cathy of Chick-fil-A, financial guru Dave Ramsey, and Seth Godin.
You can find out more about Leadercast by visiting their site. Click HERE or on the logo below to learn more.
And if you’re interested in a recap of my Twitterview, you can find it on the Leadercast blog. HERE is a direct link. I hope you enjoy.
Between now and May 6, I’ll be speaking publicly several times, in Ohio and Georgia. (See Events in the sidebar for details.) I’d love to meet you, so if you’re there, please be sure to come up front and say hello at the end of the event. And let me know that you’re a blog reader!

What’s coming up in November
Posted by: | Comments
Greetings from the birthplace of the United States – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania!
I’m here for one of my favorite events: The Exchange. And what a privilege it is to walk these streets during the week of the US elections. If you’re a US citizen, I hope you vote. It’s our civic responsibility and our only means of influencing the course of our country.
This month holds a few opportunities to see me, either in person or online.
First, if you’re in – or can get to – the southern United States, I hope you can join me at the Seize the Day seminar on Tuesday, November 9. For only $4.95, an individual can learn from many amazing communicators and leaders. (For only $19.95, an entire office can join us!) Click the link for more information and to purchase tickets.
I’ll also be preaching a couple times in November:
On the 6th and 7th, I’ll be at Christ Fellowship Church in West Palm Beach, Florida. If you’re in the area, I’d love to see you there. But even if you’re nowhere near Florida, you can join me online streaming live here. I hope you can make it!
On the 17th, I’ll be teaching during a midweek service at Faith Family Church in North Canton, Ohio, at 7pm Eastern Time. They’ll also stream live here. So make plans to join us from anywhere in the world!
I love how the power of the Internet allows me to “meet” many more people than I ever could in real life. Thank you for reaching out and connecting with me!
What I’ve got lined up for Fall, 2010!
Posted by: | CommentsWelcome to my blog’s new look! I’m really pleased with the simplicity of the design, and I hope it serves you, the reader, well.

Let me highlight a few of the events where I’ll be speaking this fall:
September 16-18, St Louis, MO
Joyce Meyer’s Women’s Conference starts TOMORROW! I always enjoy appearing with Joyce on her TV show. For this event, I get to speak alongside an amazing lineup, including Joyce, Darlene Zsech, Natalie Grant, Fuze Worship and Dr. Caroline Leaf. Click the picture above for more information.
October 18-21, Pebble Beach, CA
EQUIP is the non-profit organization that I founded in 1996. Specializing in the development of effective international Christian leaders, EQUIP is dedicated to developing servant leaders who shoulder responsibility, meet challenges with courage and creativity and never relinquish their God-given dreams. This Leadership Summit is an opportunity to connect with the people and the vision of EQUIP. I’d love to see you there!
November 3-5, Philadelphia, PA
Giant Impact‘s Exchange Gathering, one of my favorite events, is an opportunity for executive-level leaders to meet with me in an intimate and relaxed environment. This year we’re in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a city whose rich culture and history will inspire us to examine great leaders of the past and forge new paradigms of leadership for the future. I’m excited to welcome some other amazing speakers, including Ben Carson, M.D. (who inspired us so much at this year’s Leadercast) and Michael Useem, leadership author and professor at the University of Pennsylvania.

Something fun for your weekend
Posted by: | CommentsOnly one week from today is a fantastic conference/simulcast: The Chick-fil-A Leadercast. I’m so pleased to be a part of a fantastic lineup of speakers, including Jim Collins (Good to Great), Tony Dungy (retired NFL Super Bowl-winning coach), Mark Sanborn (The Fred Factor), and Chip Heath (Made to Stick).
And while the conference will be live in Atlanta, Georgia, it will also be simulcast in many different cities worldwide.
(To see the whole speaker lineup
and find a location near you, visit Leadercast.com.)
Now, if you were at last year’s event, you might remember an “interview” between me and Tripp Crosby, one of the emcees.
Tripp’s parody video caught me totally by surprise, which is always fun. And it also made me look like an idiot, which I LOVED. I enjoyed it so much that I posted it right here on my blog. (If you haven’t viewed that first fascinating interview, take a look.) A year later, I still get asked if I REALLY swim in a Snuggie. (No, I don’t.)
Well, my publishers, Thomas Nelson, loved Tripp’s comedy. So they couldn’t resist asking him to create a second “interview,” this time as a book trailer for Everyone Communicates, Few Connect. And the best part? I got to be in on the joke.
Here is the result:
Isn’t that great? Tripp really captured my “essence,” didn’t he? (And I really hope the next printing of the book DOES have a scratch-n-sniff section.)
In addition to this promotional piece, the folks at Nelson also created a great webpage for the book. If you have a friend who would like to know more about Everyone Communicates, Few Connect, please feel free to point them in that direction.
And if you enjoyed Tripp’s hilarious sendup of me, you can find more of his writing and videos at his website, TrippCrosby.com.
Have a great weekend! I’m preaching in metro Atlanta, Georgia, Sunday. If you’re in the area, I’d love for you to join me at 12Stone Church.
