An event called Leader Cast is one of the largest one-day leadership events in the world. And if you follow the blurbs on the brochure, it's held every year to "unite citizen leaders around the world and inspire them to make a change in areas of business and family." This year's seminar was held in Atlanta Georgia today but it was broadcast live in several other locations including Belize.
Dionne Chamberlain Miranda, Director and manager of Chamberlain Consulting led the initiative in Belize. She tells us why she brought LAEADERCAST to Belize.
Dionne Chamberlain Miranda, Dir., Chamberlain Consulting
"Belize really is having a leadership vacuum at this point. However, there are a lot of people who believe that being a leader means to hold a certain position. Leadership is about people, leadership is about influence and leadership is about making a change and all of us have to make a change the world and making things matter to leave a legacy behind for ourselves and our children. so this session invites a whole group of Belizeans to come in and lets listen, learn and see what we can do for Belize following the session today."

"Is there may be a follow up initiative on how to take what we have learnt here and put it into action?"
Dionne Chamberlain Miranda, Dir., Chamberlain Consulting
"There is definite follow up initiatives. In fact my company Chamberlain Consulting that's all we do, we help teams to build themselves to become engaged and to create leadership amongst people because again leadership is not about position. Everybody can be a leader. So we have those follow-ups but I'm sure that you are aware we do motivation missionary tour. We impact ten thousand children every year, in fact we are excited, and we have four X-NBA people coming in October. Ethan Thomas who was here before is going to lead that charge talking about the importance of fatherhood and taking care of our children. So Chamberlain Consulting has these events at least 3-4 times a year and it's not only about us. A lot of other great organizations exist in Belize but are doing different things. So this is our small part but like I said we are starting to create a revolution and media coverage like yours we are going to get it out there and we are going to make a difference. I'm excited by the way, ten schools from the south, their principals are in there. so that means that we have George Town High School, we have Independence High School, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Economic Development, the European Union. There are some key stake holders so we know that this is not the end, this is only the beginning. So at 4:30 this afternoon we are going to have a master mind session. We are going to sit down and talk, what is the next step? So I can't tell you what the next step is but I do know they have crafted visions this morning and now we are going hone it together and see how we take it from here."
About 200 people attended the local seminar at the Biltmore Plaza today. They included teachers, youth advocates, AND entrepreneurs. The live seminar was also held in 20 other countries.
