The half day broadcast ‘Live2Lead’ will be hosted by the New York Times best-selling author, Dr John C Maxwell, who over the past two years has started a transformational movement of teaching ethical leadership and helping countries to reposition their values.
With him will be three other international speakers who include; chairman, president and CEO of Fortune 500 company Dan Cathy, researcher, executive director, speaker and president of the Wiseman Group, Liz Wiseman as well as Simon Sinek, an optimist and internationally celebrated author and leadership authority.
Speaking to Mmegi Business, Mosetlhanyane said the event is meant to afford local leaders an opportunity to learn from the world international leadership experts who are renowned speakers.
“Leadership grows daily and not in a day. This event is just a starter and the secret lies in the process which we will unfold to our clients at the event. I can assure our clients that they will leave the simulcast with a concrete plan of what next in order to build on to the momentum from Live2Lead before the motivation and excitement evaporates,” she said.
According to Mosetlhanyane, Batswana are inundated with complaints across the spectrum about among others, poor work ethic, lack of commitment and accountability as well as an increasing moral decay especially amongst thej youth.
She noted that their experience from Paraguay on value-based roundtables could help Batswana to really own up and take responsibility in their respective areas and be proactive in terms of coming up with solutions rather than talking about the problems all the time.
“The roundtables can also be very instrumental in getting our youth back on track in terms of our Setswana values to become responsible leaders of tomorrow who will be able to preserve our beautiful culture and country for the next generations,” she added.
Apart from the conference, she said that they offer different services which includes, leadership training, personal coaching either one on one or a group, keynote speaking on leadership as well as personal profiling and people skills training.
“We help people understand themselves for who they really are and help them build strong relationships by sharpening their skills. As leaders we see people as we are and not as they are, it is therefore important to know who we are so we can be aware of the impact of our lenses on others,” she said.
In addition she noted that they have joined John C. Maxwell and his team of 250 certified international coaches, volunteers and leaders in Paraguay to train 17,105 Paraguayan leaders in the special ‘value based Roundtable Method’ in a government initiative called ‘Transformación Paraguay’, to train his leadership in being more accountable.
These leaders were in turn to train up to 10% of the population, kick starting the transformational effect. The trained leaders would in turn train others and so on, ultimately resulting in a transformed nation as the momentum grows and the reach widening, thus bearing the desired fruits in the long term.
