Tim Elmore Interview

September 28, 2012 — Leave a comment

AM

I had a great opportunity to interview Tim Elmore at the D6 Conference this year. Dr. Tim Elmore is the founder and president of Growing Leaders, an Atlanta-based non-profit organization created to develop emerging leaders. Through Growing Leaders, he and his team provide public schools, state universities, civic organizations, and corporations with the tools they need to help develop young leaders who can impact and transform society.

Tim has written a great new book, that I’m starting to read this week. It’s titled “Artificial Maturity: Helping Kids Meet the Challenge of Becoming Authentic Adults.” I was able to do a fantastic video interview, of which the audio was not synched with the video. So under those conditions…I present to you the audio-only version of our conversation.

Tim Elmore Audio Interview (It’s just over 5 minutes long, so it won’t take long to give it a listen.)

D6 Conference

I know that many reading this are sitting in church offices all over the world, or maybe you’re at the kitchen table, or maybe you’re at Starbucks with some earphones. Wherever you are, you can participate in a conversation happening in Dallas, TX at the D6 Family Conference. And you can participate for FREE, right where you are!

Both Thursday and Friday you still have opportunities to watch the LIVE STREAM. And you can continue to follow along with me at http://www.jonathancliff.com/d6live both today and tomorrow. I’ll see you there!

D6

This week I’ll be in Frisco. (Frisco, Texas that is; it’s a Frisco just outside of Dallas.) I’ll be learning alongside some of the best family ministry church leaders from all around the world. I’ll be there to lead a pre-conference lab on Wednesday, but I’m really looking forward to interacting  with my new friends on Thursday and Friday. And this is where you could benefit…

There is nothing to replace the experience of being at D6 in person. But because many of you aren’t able to join me in Dallas next week, D6 wanted to give those of you at home a taste of the conference. That’s why they’re streaming six sessions from D6 for absolutely free. 
Watch D6 Live
All you need to do is go to d6conference.com/live to watch, chat, learn, and grow. Until then, go here for the full schedule of #D62012 online.
I’m also going to be live streaming some chat sessions from main sessions on Thursday and Friday, and you can follow along with all of that at www.jonathancliff.com/D6LIVE. And to take it up a notch, I’m not alone. D6 has invited some of my best friends along to share in all of the FREE sharing!

I took my Myers-Briggs personality profile a few months back and discovered myself to be an ISTJ. As are often the cases in these type of profiles, it didn’t reflect 100% of who I feel I am. However, it was still pretty spot-on. If you’re unsure of what an ISTJ is, then just imagine the most awesome person that could possibly exist. That’s what an ISTJ is.

In that spirit, I loved this recent Infographic on the Myers-Briggs Type & Social Media. (Click the image to make it all big-like for easy viewing.) BTW – if you’d like to follow along with me on Twitter and Facebook, feel free to follow those links.
