My Minutes with Maxwell

By Richard Howlett http://www.giftofhealth.co.uk http://www.viinuk.co.uk  On October 15, 2014

There’s just something about John C. Maxwell that when he enters a room, you naturally lean forward to listen to his every word. Maybe it’s because you know he is recognized as one of the top leadership experts in the world. Maybe it’s one of his many books you read and highlighted throughout. Or maybe you’ve been in the audience during one of his speeches on how to become a better leader, and you crave more.

Then again, it might just be the mere fact that Maxwell–what he knows and how he communicates it—inspires you.

For me, Vi’s Content Marketing Manager, it was all those things. And at the Vitality event in Houston, in a small room backstage, minutes before Maxwell was scheduled to deliver his keynote address, I had the honor of sitting down with him and asking him his thoughts on vision, leadership, values… and how all that relates to ViSalus.

Vision

“When I think of vision, I get excited when I see good leadership,” he told me, “and Ryan [Blair], Blake [Mallen] and Nick [Sarnicola] are great leaders; they’re going to take ViSalus to a whole new level. People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision.”

Values

Collaborating with the Vi Founders as part of our Leadership & Influence Development (LID) program, Maxwell is teaching our top leaders the importance of core values as guiding principles behind behaviors and actions. In fact, his keynote speech would include the importance of our Vi-6 values, which provide the foundation for inspiring, teaching, learning, challenging and celebrating as a Community.

I asked him to choose a core value he felt every person in the Vi Community should focus on in growing as leaders.

“Add value to more people… and do so intentionally,” he answered. “You are living to add to people’s lives – a skill, a thought, an idea – every day. When you help people get what they want, they will want to help you.”

Mentorship

As a best-selling author and renowned international speaker to Fortune 500 companies, Maxwell has to be very discerning about where and with whom he spends his time. And so, it’s quite telling that he has personally mentored Ryan, Blake and Nick for a long while.

I asked, “What’s been most inspirational to you in terms of watching them grow as leaders?”

It’s then when Maxwell beamed proudly. “Before I choose to mentor people, I always assess their leadership capacity and their potential. And all three of the Founders have great capacity—their potential is at a high level. And then I look at how passionate they are, what their purpose is, and what they’re doing to make a difference. I mentor very few people, but with them, I saw all the possibilities, and it’s been exciting developing them.”

When I asked Maxwell who his mentors are, he immediately responded. “My father, who is 92 and who still works every day. In my early years, it was Lon Woodrum and Elbert Towns. In the last several years, it was John Wooden.”

At that precise moment, Maxwell did not know that in the next hour, after concluding his speech, the Vi Founders would be surprising him with our 2014 Global Leadership Award, of which John Wooden was the inaugural recipient.

Leadership Development

I was curious. “You’ve written many books on the topic of leadership development. What book/s should every Vi Promoter have in their home library?”

From the list of more than 70 books Maxwell has published, he suggested the following five:

  1. The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership
  2. The Five Levels of Leadership
  3. Today Matters
  4. How Successful People Think
  5. The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth

But, Maxwell’s favorite book is the one he just published:

Good Leaders Ask Questions

10636124_10152681425280540_3252230307459933206_n

Maxwell explained that the key to unlocking the door to success is asking good questions. “Think of a key ring – the more good questions you have on that ring, the more success doors you can unlock.”

And, I can’t help but smile at the thought I literally just asked him a bunch of questions.

Finally, I asked the one thing he wanted people to know about becoming leaders, either in their personal or professional life.

“I tell them that I value them and that they have the potential to grow as a leader,” he said. “The only thing to keep them from reaching their potential…is them. Their own self-limitations.”

The Influence of a True Leader

Soon after, as I watched Maxwell walk on stage and deliver a memorable speech to an audience of thousands, I realized that those few minutes with him had given me a profound personal experience I will value for a lifetime.

It just shows the transformational influence that true leaders can have on somebody’s life…even with just one conversation.

I was asked, Do I really take Herbalife everyday?

Just looking at some blogs on Herbalife and other products and I have to smile, two things stand out, the first question is Do the products work and will I have to take them all the time?
The second is do you have to take them?
Well, lets look at this, I have a web site and on it are photos of me, not a random person, before I lost 79lbs in a short time ten years ago, so go to http://www.giftofhealth.co.uk and see me and others, then either come round to the house and check me out or look me up on face book because I’m still looking good after ten years.
Would I ever stop taking the products? No, I never feel hungry I have loads of energy and look younger than most people of 61 years.
Can you stop taking the products yes, will you put on weight? If you go back to your old ways of course you will, this is about change, you have to decide what’s good for you, health or illness, the choice is yours.
Do I take the products? Look at me, of course I do I take all the inner nutrition and targeted products and I also use the outer nutrition product every day.
Looking fat old and worn out is not cool, so do your self a favour and get on Herbalife and have a unique life.

Why Herbalife products are a total nutrition requirement for the body.

When I’m promoting the fantastic Herbalife products, the reasons why they are so good for your body and health, for all the family, I get excited but most people yawn! It’s a shame, because if people gave just a few minuets to understand what our product has as an advantage they could improve their health and that of their families.

Take for example the Aloe skin care range, hair care that strengthens the hair eight times more than any other type, but more important it’s free of PARABENS, what are they you say, well I will tell you:

Parabens and their effects

Parabens are something that most people aren’t aware of – although many of us use them on a regular basis. Parabens are a chemical compound of para-hydroxybenzoic acid, and common types of parabens include butyl, propyl and ethyl parabens. Less common types include benzylparaben and isobutylparaben.

Parabens occur naturally in such things as blueberries, prunes and cinnamon although all parabens used commercially are made synthetically. A common use for parabens is as a food additive, usually to add color or flavor, and they are also known for their ability to reduce the effects of bacteria and spoilage. They are also commonly found in oil and glue products.

Parabens are found in a variety of everyday products – cosmetics, deodorant, face cream, shampoo and toothpaste. Check the list of ingredients on one of these products in your home and you will almost certainly see that parabens are included – an estimated 90% of cosmetic products include parabens.

For many years, parabens have been considered safe, both in the UK and overseas, as they are virtually non-toxic. An allergic reaction or sensitivity to parabens is extremely rare – especially considering how widely used they are. However, several studies in recent years have suggested that parabens might be more harmful than we think, although many results are inconclusive.

Studies have found that the biggest risk from parabens seems to be from the use of products that require a prolonged exposure to skin, such as skin creams and facial lotions. The longer that the parabens are on the skin, the more opportunity there is for parabens to be absorbed. When used in skin care products, parabens are absorbed directly into the blood stream rather than through the gastrointestinal tract.

One type of paraben – methylparaben – has also been linked to the premature aging of skin. A study undertaken in Japan indicated that certain cosmetic products may cause skin to age excessively when exposed to ultra-violet rays. Ironically, this compound can be commonly found in products designed to fight the effects of aging.

Some tests have indicated that parabens have caused an increase in oestrogen which can possibly affect the male and female reproductive organs. Some studies in men have shown that a low sperm count and a decrease in testosterone are directly related to the intake of parabens.

One of the biggest areas of concern is the effect of parabens on breast cancer. Several studies have found traces of parabens in women with breast cancer. There seems little doubt that parabens can affect breast tissue – but whether they actually increase the possibility of breast cancer is still uncertain.

It’s difficult not to come into contact with parabens – they are used in so many products that we use daily. Use of parabens is still legal in the UK and it’s an area that will continue to be watched carefully. If you are concerned, an increasing number of products are now being manufactured without parabens.
So, that’s why you really should use our products for all the family every day, giving total nutrition not only to the inner body but also the outer body.

Often people say I go on about fruit and vegetables to much, they don’t like them!

Often people say I go on about fruit and vegetables to much, they don’t like them!

Well, short while ago a survey was carried out across the USA over all classes with regard to the amount people eat, now in America they have seven a day, not like in Europe five a day, never worked that out.

The results were amazing or that should be embarrassing, No1 Ketchup, No2 French Fries, proportionate numbers made it impossible to have any more on the list, This is why the USA is the fat capital in the world, best place to sign up for heart disease, diabetes and cancer and all manner of digestive illness.

Guess which country is leading the way in Europe, Yes, it’s the UK, we offer all the illnesses of the USA and a broke health service so survival less likely, Yes, the biggest factor is what we eat and from that the lack of Fruit Vegetables and water!

We have the five a day saying here, it means the colours of the rainbow in different fruit & Vegetables, and we need the vitamins and nutrients that are found in the colour groups.

As well the digestible fibre to slow absorption of glucose in the blood to avoid rises and falls in our blood sugar levels and the over activity of our pancreas having to over work pumping insulin into our blood to stabilise sugar levels, the indigestible fibre that catches cholesterol in our food as well as swelling up in our tummy making us feel full avoiding over eating and then passing through our digestive systems to ensure an elimination of toxins and a healthy waste system.

Then of course there are the photo nutrients that are in the colours of the fruits and vegetables, these are so important to our health, they help to stabilise and keep in check cancer cells, now this is serious stuff, and information of colour groups can be obtained from me RichardHowlett@sky.com

We need to start to introduce the fresh fruits and vegetables to our children when they are young, leading by example making them a normal thing, not a punishment, kids love the taste of raw peas and carrots, butter beans, try and experiment a little, when you go shopping let them pick a fruit or vegetable that you haven’t had before and discover its taste and how to prepare it, lets get started lets give our kids a chance in life.

I was going to give you a few statistics from the Cancer Research UK advice sheet on my wall.
Of all cancers these are the contributing factors:
No2 Over weight, No3 Low Fruit & Vegetables Diet, No8 eating red or processed meat, No10 Low Fibre diet, No13 Over 6grams of salt each day.

There are also break downs of other cancers, they all include the lack of the good foods and the overeating of the not so good foods.

We are human we eat food and food is fun, we do need to eat the correct foods, our children will only do as we do, not what we say! So start today to change your and your family’s health.

I called my business the Gift of Health because it is, we need to preserve it by getting the correct nutrition, I thank god for the day I found , or rather Herbalife found me, it has changed my life through better health, two or three shakes a day and a good meal in the evening, all the colours of the rainbow in fruit and vegetables with lots of water, I’ve never felt as well as I do, give it a go http://www.giftofhealth.co.uk you never know you could be the person that inspires your whole family to change to a healthier lifestyle.

What drinks are best at the gym, are some better than others?

When I’m at the gym I always do at least 35 minuets of hard cardio exercise, having had a training from Dr Louis J. Ignarro Nobel Laureate in Medicine for his work in cardiovascular health, who said if you want to give your heart its daily work out 35 minuets is your minimum and you should be dripping in sweat, if not you may as well stayed in bed!
So with that in mind you also have to take on board you need to keep yourself hydrated and to replace the salts the electrolytes you sweat out during your daily assault on your body.
