00:00Hey! Wake up!
00:10Welcome to this leadership school that the brothers of San Juan have prepared especially for you.
00:16Through intense sessions, you will discover and awaken the leader within you.
00:23My name is Mauricio Coronado and I will accompany you at the beginning of this journey.
00:27First of all, we need to get started with two principles.
00:32The first is that everything can be improved. You included.
00:37Maybe they've told you that you're good for nothing, or maybe you think you're already the best at what you do.
00:45But most likely not. Most certainly not.
00:49You are not yet what you can become.
00:53You are not yet in actuality what you can potentially become.
00:59And number two.
01:01If you're here, it's because you have a very high commitment to your growth.
01:06Because it's not as easy as they've told you.
01:09It's not just about thinking positively or going to study all the YouTube videos that talk about leadership.
01:17You need to invest many hours, you're going to have a lot of work, but it's your decision because it's for your growth.
01:27I will ask you as Morpheus asked Nio.
01:31Do you prefer the red pill or the blue pill?
01:35So, let's get down to business.
01:37What do we mean by leader?
01:39Everyone's talking about this, but what does it mean?
01:43I'm not going to give you a dictionary definition, but a definition based on life experience.
01:50A leader is someone who is at the head, someone who leads, who directs, thanks to the influence he exerts on the people around him.
02:03A leader has a message for them, and that influence can be for their own purposes, for the purposes of their group, or for the common good.
02:15A leader is someone who is content with how things are, is attentive to what is happening with his contemporaries, and something inside him moves him, pushes him.
02:27A leader has the ability to influence others to move them towards the solution he wants to propose for that problem.
02:38A leader also inspires through example and is someone who will inevitably have followers.
02:48In fact, it will be irresistible to them.
02:51A leader is also someone who inspires their followers to rise up as leaders of others, to discover their purpose or to discover their why.
03:10He sees the wave and doesn't stay on the shore of the beach.
03:15He takes his board and dares to surf.
03:18A leader, in fact, prepares to surf those opportunities that he knows will present themselves in the future.
03:27He doesn't know when, but he knows, he recognizes, he senses that it's coming.
03:34A leader is also someone who knows how to recognize their strengths and weaknesses and complements them with those of their team.
03:43A leader sees a future and builds it together with his tribe.
03:51Now, with what I've just told you, do you recognize any leaders present throughout your life?
03:58I'm sure it is.
04:00More than one person has surely influenced you, inspired you, or moved you to do something.
04:07Even, oh surprise!
04:11You have probably already been a leader of someone or a leader in your work, school, or community.
04:20You may not have realized it, but you already have been.
04:24Eye!
04:25Not everything is rosy with leaders.
04:29In fact, being a leader is very costly, but with great power comes great responsibility, as Uncle Ben said.
04:40Whether you are a believer or not, I believe that the quintessential leader is the Jesus presented to us in the gospels.
04:48First, he completely shook up a handful of men who gave up everything for him, since he loved them first.
04:57His impact is so great that after two thousand years, his message continues to resonate around the globe and his book is the best-selling book of all time.
05:10In short, we can see five characteristics of Jesus' leadership that we can put into practice.
05:17The number one thing is to have a purpose.
05:20His purpose was to give his life for our salvation.
05:26To give his life so that we might have the opportunity to have that friendship with the Father again.
05:32Number two, have a message.
05:36He had a message for humanity.
05:39Love one another as he loved us.
05:44His message was to give love.
05:47Number three, compassion.
05:50He saw how lost we were and helped us directly.
05:54He helped those most in need, he helped those most despised by those who called themselves the good people of his time.
06:04He saw beyond her appearance and even her actions.
06:08Number four, example.
06:11He didn't just tell you which way to go or what you had to do.
06:16In fact, he was the way.
06:18But he set an example, he led by example.
06:22And the greatest example is the cross.
06:25Number five, he was attentive.
06:28He listened to the afflicted, healed the sick, fed the hungry, and forgave the sinner.
06:36Always attentive to listen and to give.
06:40Something I would like you to keep in mind is that it doesn't matter where you come from, it doesn't matter your origin.
06:48Whatever your last name is, whatever neighborhood you live in, it doesn't matter.
06:53God brought you into this world so that you may have a relationship with him, be happy, and help others.
07:01You don't need to go all over the world.
07:04Start at home, at school, or in your community.
07:07Finally, I want to leave you with five questions for you to reflect on this week as you grow as a leader.
07:17The number one question is, think about these people who are your closest circle.
07:25They are very important because they are probably influencing you.
07:31The specific question is, what are they contributing to your development?
07:34Are they adding anything to your life?
07:36Does what they are providing you help you grow as a leader?
07:41Question number two is, okay, they are contributing something to you, but what about you?
07:48Do you contribute anything to them? How are you influencing them?
07:51Is your influence on them positive or negative?
07:56Question number three is, do you currently believe you are facing any challenges in your leadership?
08:07Question number four is, what aspect of your leadership would you like to awaken or mature?
08:15And question number five, do you think it's worth leaving the cave?
08:21I hope that what we have seen in this session has moved you in your growth as a leader.
08:27Next, we'll talk about leaving the cave.
08:31We'll be waiting for you.
