As the Information Age consistently pervades societies throughout the world, it has become more and more common to lose the “personal touch” that our communities were once built on. While our educational systems get increasingly “globalized” and the number of true friends that the average person has continues to decline, we see an obvious rise in the need for gatherings of like-minded people to teach basic principles of both personal and professional development. This is where Life Leadership fills the gap. Every month, tens of thousands of Life Leadership Members and Customers get together at LIFE Live Seminars that take place across the various markets.
“People do not change their minds, but they do make new decisions based upon new information.” –Orrin Woodward
Association is a key component in the learning process. This is true in all walks of life, which is why you see the vast array of clubs, associations and organizations covering a complete spectrum of human activity. Whether for professional or recreational purposes, people like to congregate in communities with others of the same interests. The LIFE Live Events are world-class educational meetings designed to inform, equip, and train. Ranging in size from a new satellite webcast location in a living room to a mid-sized church auditorium or hotel meeting room to a massive conference/event center, these fun, energy-packed seminars deliver life-changing information.
You can almost feel some of the excitement as you watch this video from one of the five LIFE Live Events in Haiti:
Since these thriving monthly seminars take place live in Australia, Haiti, Canada and the United States, as well as online through a streaming webcast in many other places around the world; we asked some of the speakers and participants if they would share their thoughts and a couple of nuggets that they took away from the experience last month. Not surprisingly, hundreds of responses came flooding in from across the different markets. Here are just a few of the many comments and quotes that we received:
Life first gives you the test, then comes the lesson. -Lisa Leger (Speaker in Hawkesbury, Ontario)
I love the seminar environment! Living in a rural area, it is so important to be in a room full of people who are actively working to create their futures. There’s so much we can do to encourage each other and encourage growth in our geographical areas and beyond. We are currently webcasting, but it’s amazing how much laughter and clapping goes on in response to the amazing leaders on the video screen–while creating a vision for a LIFE Live Seminar environment. Every nugget learned solidifies our drive and commitment, not only to our own goals and dreams, but to the cause and mission of this wonderful organization called Life Leadership. -Lorie Tallio at the Webcast in Escanaba, Michigan
You don’t inspire people by showing them how amazing you are. You inspire them by showing them how amazing they are. -Cassie Birtles (Speaker in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania)
Terry & Ann Franks just blew it up tonight…They are a phenomenal couple…It was really heartfelt, and they had that deep relationship feel to them…Everybody I talked to just loved it…This just gets better and better and better…We had a great turnout. Super fired up for what’s happening! -Daniel Compton in Grand Junction, Colorado
If you dwell on your past long enough, it will eventually become your future. -Wayne MacNamara (Speaker in Waterloo, Ontario)
Dean Frey has such an incredible gift to really just capture your imagination with stories…And to really bring you in to the stories he tells, and just wraps your heart up…I’m telling you what—The ticket-holder meeting that Dean did last night was just absolutely incredible. Some of the best information on posture I’ve ever heard. His posture was incredible, and the teaching that he did, man, I took PAGES of notes on just the ticket-holder meeting. -Brian Craft in Atlanta, Georgia
Life is not as it is; life is as you are. -Rob Robson (Speaker in Santa Clara, California)
George & Jill Guzzardo and all of the local leaders are amazing servants…Just laying their hearts out there for people to see. -Dave Hall in Whitewater, Wisconsin
Men don’t pick their destiny, they pick their habits and that determines their future. -Claude Hamilton (Speaker in Waterloo, Ontario)
We have some more exciting growth to report out of Dallas, Texas…Adam Arnold is walking for some great recognition at this seminar as a new Leader. He just keeps pressing forward, and he’s setting a great example for his team—setting a great pace…And using the gifts God’s given him to build a great community and serve his people. -Phil Mette in Dallas, Texas
I might have to be the “bright spot” first to be able to then spot the “bright spot.” -Lynda Varada (Speaker in Fort Wayne, Indiana)
Kirk & Cassie were so passionate…so inspiring..so full of wisdom, and they just motivated our team and provided guidance and just real down-to-earth truths of what people can do with their lives by plugging in to this life-changing information. -Greg Johnson in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
You can’t recycle wasted time. -Raylene MacNamara (Speaker in Waterloo, Ontario)
We are so grateful for and appreciative of Chris and Carol Miller. They came into Houston and just tore the cover off the ball. It was an awesome seminar. We had a lot of adversity yesterday, and it was a testament to the power of our information. We were able to apply it and keep our helmets on–to quote Claude. A lot of emotional intelligence was on display yesterday as the inside temperature soared above 80 degrees in the room…Which isn’t that bad, but when you’re packed full of people and trying to learn…Kudos to the local leaders for responding…We ended up not having access to the projector, so Chris Miller prepared a talk about 30 minutes in advance and delivered it and crushed the ball out of the park. -Micah Kramer in Houston, Texas
Appreciate what you have before it becomes what you had. -Denis Leger (Speaker in Hawkesbury, Ontario)
I am just so impressed with Dan & Lisa Hawkins. They are a couple that really has a crystal-clear vision of, not only what they’re doing, but what the company is doing as well; and they really want to get to a million people just as much as Orrin does…and it just fired me up. I sat there thinking to myself—the people that didn’t go to the seminar really missed out…and I’m not saying that to burn them; I’m not saying that to make them feel bad…But I guess my point is this: if you get to the seminars and associate with the best of the best, in a positive environment, with people who are thinking just like you; it’s going to renew your fire—and it’s going to keep you going. -Eli Bowman in Ashland, Ohio
Swallow your pride occasionally, it’s non fattening. -Lana Hamilton (Speaker in Waterloo, Ontario)
Lyndon & Ruthie Bell did a great job. As I’m going around talking with some of the folks on our team, Lyndon and Ruthie are showing up in the conversation time and time again. Everybody is talking about how relatable they were as they covered the basics… I know their team is blessed to have them at the helm. -Bill Newton in Wichita, Kansas
Freedom never comes without opposition. -George Guzzardo (Speaker in Whitewater, Wisconsin)
Jeff & Tammy Darling just rocked the house. They were such a pleasure to have. I’ve never heard their story before and—Tammy in particular…She’s such a firecracker, and she’s so fun to listen to; but man, where that woman has come from, and the battles that she has tackled in life are just—wow—so inspiring. They both did an awesome job teaching…They were AMAZING. At the break, they were walking around and shaking as many hands as they could. We just really enjoyed them last night, had a great time, and learned a TON. -Elizabeth Sieracki in Port Charlotte, Florida
Trouble is free fuel; resistance builds muscle. -Chris Brady (Speaker in Waterloo, Ontario)
Tonight’s LIFE Leadership monthly seminar provided HUGE value to the community! Mark and Jenn Paul shared wisdom that when applied over time will create an immeasurable legacy for our family! The recognition was off the charts and proved that anyone can do this; the question is ‘who will?’ -Ryan Fronick in St. Charles, Missouri
Dare to celebrate your achievements. -Kirk Birtles (Speaker in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania)
After an incredible evening of recognition for business achievement, camaraderie with like-minded people and learning from Dean & Teresa Frey, Life Leadership Members and Customers in Atlanta, Georgia, were fired up!

Peggi Kern says
I love the LIFE seminars for so many reasons. This is one night that I get away from any worries at home and I get to be around my LIFE community in an environment where I can learn and be fed! My goal is to find at least one nugget of information that I can take home and implement in my life. It’s key for successful change and growth in my life! I’m so thankful for the LIFE seminars!

Robby Palmer says
If I could pinpoint one events that I’ve been to over the last 4 years, I would. But I don’t think it’s one. It’s all of them! Life leadership sends out world class speakers, and they put on amazing events. There’s no smoke and lights, or very loud music at the monthly events, but there is excitement. People are excited about their opportunity, their life and relationship changes, their feelings of hope, and that is exciting to be around! I don’t miss these events…. Ever.
CJ Calvert says
The monthly LIFE Leadership events are a rocket-fueled recharge of success thinking, personal development, and recommitment to your goals. For anyone serious about personal and professional success, I couldn’t more highly recommend them!
Renee Oettinger says
It was at a seminar that I understood the power of a team working together to help each other win in Life. I am so grateful for this venue, the association of forward growing people is amazing and necessary to grow ourselves. Thank you for sharing
Dean Frey says
The seminars have provided a consistent, positive atmosphere to grow ourselves and our beliefs in a better tomorrow. I can’t wait for the next one.
Kim VanSlembrouck says
Association MATTERS!!!!!
Cathy K says
The monthly LIFE Leadership Seminars are an awesome time to renew batteries, re-engage dreams, recharge relationships and refine game plans. Getting together with your team is such a blessing! It’s so fantastic to spend time with people you KNOW care about you and your family’s future!!!!
Chris Craft says
The Seminars are a breath of fresh air, both for those who are in our business and for those who are not! Where else can you go for leadership and personal development where the atmosphere is so uplifting? Absolutely my favorite time of the month!
Anthony Nieto says
WOW! Fired up blog Zach! Very well put together. I’m definitely going to lead people to this blog. Keep doing what you’re doing to help make this the greatest company with the greatest people EVER!!
Jeanette Rogacion says
Amazing seminar held at Harrisburg, PA with Kirk & Cassie Birtles firing up the crowd with their very informative, inspiring, entertaining and engaging talk.
Sharing some nuggets from the seminar :
” Mastering ones future must surely start with managing oneself”
” The only way you could change is first to know what to change. Know yourself! ”
” Be the change you wish to see in the world!”
” Building a better you is the first step to building a better America.”
Kirk Birtles highlighted the Gatorade commercial during his talk – It’s not what you have ….”IT’S WHAT’S IN YOU!”
KUDOS TO LIFE LEADERSHIP!
Chris Brady says
Associating with winners is one of the biggest secrets to success.
I am VERY proud of Life Leadership’s seminar events held across many countries. They are truly world-class and life-changing.
