For Leadership, Give Me Shackleton Antarctic Explorer Ernest Shackleton has been called “the greatest leader who ever came on God’s earth – bar none.” In this talk, Angela tells the story of Shackleton’s 1914-1916 expedition. Shackleton’s stout ship, the Endurance, was frozen into the sea off the coast of Antarctica and then crushed by ice. It sank leaving the crew stranded. Yet, Shackleton led every one of his 27 men to safety. Angela shows that Shackleton succeeded because he was equally dedicated to the people he led, the purpose they sought, and the plain truth. The talk tells the story of Shackleton with special emphasis on behaviors any leader can adopt: treating everyone with respect, encouraging camaraderie, admitting your mistakes, and being well-prepared and optimistic.

Alzheimer’s Disease: Aging With Grace There is much new information about Alzheimer’s Disease. Among the most interesting was developed by Dr. David Snowdon’s study of a group of Catholic nuns. Aging With Grace is a touching story that offers lessons on what we can — and can’t — do to protect our brains from Alzheimer’s Disease. Speech time: 30 minutes (can be lengthened) |

Learned Optimism Psychologist Martin Seligman and coaches at UC Berkley have demonstrated that athletes who are optimistic overcome setbacks. Those who are pessimistic don’t perform well after a setback. This is just one of a number of studies conducted by Seligman that shows that optimists succeed where pessimists fail. Optimistic students do better in college than their SAT scores would predict. Optimistic salesmen sell more. And in every election since 1948, the more optimistic of the presidential candidates from the major parties has been elected. Why is that? What implications does it have for us … and can we learn to be more optimistic? Speech time: 20 minutes (can be lengthened) |
