Everyday Leader Fall Simulcast scheduled for Tuesday

MARSHALL — Most people don’t think of themselves as a leader, but the Everyday Leader events, including an upcoming simulcast, can provide them with the necessary skills.

The Everyday Leader Fall Simulcast will be from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tuesday at Marshall High School. The simulcast’s lineup includes a diverse mix of leaders– leadership expert John Maxwell; filmmaker/actor Tyler Perry; Carly Fiorina, the founder and chair of Unlocking Potential; best-selling author Daniel Pink; and professional adventurer and serial entrepreneur Debra Searle.

Everyday Leader is in its eighth year in Marshall. Glenn Bader, one of the event organizers, said there are more than 35 different organizations in the community that sponsor the program for the year.

“It’s really run by our community for our community, to really grow and develop our people,” Bader said.

Everyday Leader has a simulcast event in the spring and the fall, as well as roundtable discussions. Bader said there are 300 to 400 people who attend the simulcasts, and 60 attend the roundtable discussions.

“This event is one of many things we do in the year,” Bader said.

The simulcast is a full morning where people get to meet others in the community, and they get to learn new skills to help them grow professionally and personally, Bader said.

“There are people from all walks of life and all ages: students, teachers, businesspeople, nurses, nonprofits, accountants, farmers, stay-at-home moms, pastors and city government,” Bader said.

Bader said Everyday Leader is volunteer-run, and members give their time and energy to bring such events as the simulcasts to the community because “we have a heart for developing leaders and realize that many small businesses don’t have the resources to do this on their own.”

The featured speakers each bring their own leadership traits to the simulcast.

Pink is the author of six best-selling books about business, work and behavior. He has been a contributing editor at Fast Company and Wired, was the host and co-executive producers of “Crowd Control,” a television series about human behavior and served as chief speechwriter to Vice President Al Gore.

Fiorina became the first woman to lead a Fortune 500 company and was recruited to lead HP in 1999. With her leadership, revenue grew, innovation tripled, growth quadrupled and HP became the 11th largest company in the U.S., according to her website. She served as chair of Good360 and ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016.

Searle is a motivational speaker, won Gold World Championship medals for Great Britain, published two books, founded four companies and has successfully rowed solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She has spoken at more than 1,000 events across 38 countries.

Perry is a filmmaker, actor, entrepreneur and philanthropist. His first film “Diary of a Mad Black Woman,” debuted at No. 1 in 2005. He’s gone on to direct 18 films that have grossed almost $2 billion. His upcoming work includes “Nobody’s Fool” with Tiffany Haddish and “A Madea Family Funeral.”

Maxwell is an internationally recognized leadership expert and a best-selling author and coach. He has written more than 100 books and his latest book is “Leadershift: 11 Essential Changes Every Leader Must Embrace.”

“People have been very excited,” Bader said about the simulcast’s panel. It’s nice to have a diversity, he added.

Bader said people love the simulcast events. Some of the comments Everyday Leader has received include:

“The interaction and ideas from others was really impactful.”

“It challenged me to really think about growth and what I want to get out of my life both professionally and personally.”

“It has been great to be a diverse group in relation to occupation and age. I think my biggest ah-ha is reminding myself that change can be exhibit and good and that I should embrace it. Without change I will never grow.”

Being a leader is not defined by your position or title, Bader said.

“Being a leader does not mean that you manage people,” he said. “Leadership is influence that we have to impact another person. We are all leaders. Everyday Leader exists to equip people with the tools necessary to improve the world they see around them and the inspiration to view themselves as someone important enough to bring that change.”
