Get Motivated Business Seminar

I recently attended the Get Motivated Business Seminar with a couple of guys on our church staff. The event brings together well-known speakers (and some speakers I had never heard of) who are leaders in their chosen field (business, government, sports, etc.) for a day of encouragement and challenge.

There were some low points to the day:

• Robert Schuller (Crystal Cathedral) opened the morning by asking, "We're in Knoxville, Tennessee this morning, right?" and you got the impression he truly was not sure what city he was in.
• Legendary motivational speaker Zig Ziglar appeared mid-morning and was "interviewed" by his daughter. However, due to a recent fall and declining health, Ziglar's presentation was, at best, difficult to watch.
• I'm still not really sure what Rudy Giuliani was trying to say.
• There were a couple of sales pitches made during the day. However, if you ignored your way through those, there was some good material shared.

In the next couple of posts, I will share some notes from some of the better sessions from the Get Motivated Business Seminar.
