- 0:21Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to today's show, Legacy Living, Make Your
- 0:27Speaker 1: Life Count. I'm your host, Doctor Gloria Gloria Burgess, international
- 0:34Speaker 1: leadership expert and trusted advisor. Welcome to Legacy Living, Make
- 0:42Speaker 1: Your Life Count. I'm so delighted that you joined me today.
- 0:48Speaker 1: I have a very special guest on our show. Her
- 0:51Speaker 1: name is Betty Ogiel and this is the second part
- 0:55Speaker 1: of my conversation with her. Now, if you happen to
- 0:59Speaker 1: miss part one one, be sure to find it and
- 1:02Speaker 1: listen in to learn and be inspired by Betty's journey
- 1:06Speaker 1: and her wisdom. Betty is joining us today from her
- 1:11Speaker 1: home country, Uganda. She's an amazing author, an inspiring speaker,
- 1:18Speaker 1: and most importantly, she is an advocate and I'm going
- 1:22Speaker 1: to say, a champion for hope and resilience. I can't
- 1:27Speaker 1: wait for Betty to share more of her remarkable journey
- 1:31Speaker 1: and story with you today. Let me give you just
- 1:35Speaker 1: a tiny preview. A number of years ago, Betty was
- 1:40Speaker 1: severely injured in a car accident, an accident that paralyzed
- 1:45Speaker 1: her and left her speechless. By God's mercy and grace,
- 1:51Speaker 1: she overcame paralysis, speech loss, and speech impairment. Now Betty
- 1:58Speaker 1: will share more about her story in my conversation with her.
- 2:02Speaker 1: She also shares more about it in her book Against
- 2:05Speaker 1: All Odds. I will let you know how to get
- 2:09Speaker 1: a copy of her book later on in the show.
- 2:13Speaker 1: In addition to writing, Betty hosts a series of monthly
- 2:17Speaker 1: forums which she calls Against All Odds Talks. These talks
- 2:23Speaker 1: are absolutely and positively purpose driven, and Betty's purpose is
- 2:29Speaker 1: to inspire hope and resilience and to transform lives. Betty
- 2:36Speaker 1: is the founder of the Betty Ogiel Foundation in Uganda.
- 2:41Speaker 1: Her foundation is a charity organization that educates destitute orphaned girls,
- 2:48Speaker 1: especially girls from Karamoja, an impoverished region in Uganda. She
- 2:54Speaker 1: is also a multiple award winning human resources professional and
- 2:59Speaker 1: she's a Maxwell Team certified coach. Today's topic is resilience
- 3:06Speaker 1: and leadership, two topics that are near and dear to
- 3:10Speaker 1: my heart. And I can't think of a better person,
- 3:13Speaker 1: a better leader, a better human being to address this
- 3:17Speaker 1: topic than Betty. I met Betty several years ago when
- 3:22Speaker 1: I was attending an international Maxwell certification conference in Orlando, Florida.
- 3:30Speaker 1: When I met Betty, we just resonated, We just clicked
- 3:34Speaker 1: and when I had an opportunity to hear her speak.
- 3:38Speaker 1: She spoke so passionately about her life and her purpose.
- 3:43Speaker 1: She was absolutely on fire. So I can't wait to
- 3:48Speaker 1: host this incredible, amazing and lovely human being, my friend,
- 3:54Speaker 1: colleague and mentor, Betty Ogiel. Now, before I bring Betta,
- 4:00Speaker 1: I want to take just a minute, just a moment,
- 4:04Speaker 1: to connect the dots between today's topic on resilience and
- 4:07Speaker 1: leadership and legacy living. And there are many ways that
- 4:13Speaker 1: resilience and leadership connect to legacy living, which you will
- 4:18Speaker 1: hear more about later. For now, let me say that
- 4:22Speaker 1: legacy living is a way of being and a way
- 4:25Speaker 1: of living and moving through the world so that we
- 4:28Speaker 1: can make the conscious choice to be the difference we
- 4:32Speaker 1: want to see in our world. We make the conscious
- 4:36Speaker 1: choice right here, right now, not in some distant future.
- 4:42Speaker 1: We make that conscious choice day in and day out,
- 4:46Speaker 1: three sixty five, twenty four to seven. More about that later.
- 4:51Speaker 1: One more thing before I bring Betty on. Just a reminder,
- 4:55Speaker 1: this is part two of our conversation and if you
- 4:58Speaker 1: missed part one, beh sure to listen to that episode.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Now let me introduce you to my friend and colleague
- 5:07Speaker 1: and mentor Betty Ogiel.
- 5:12Speaker 2: Betty, I love your spirit, and you have a spirit
- 5:16Speaker 2: of you have a spirit of resilience. You also have
- 5:20Speaker 2: a spirit of love, and I see you as love InMotion.
- 5:28Speaker 2: And one of the ways that you live out that
- 5:30Speaker 2: compassion and mercy and care and hope and resilience and
- 5:36Speaker 2: love is through your foundation, the Betty Ogiel Foundation. And
- 5:41Speaker 2: I wonder if you can just tell us a little
- 5:43Speaker 2: bit about that and why you started it and where
- 5:47Speaker 2: you are now.
- 5:50Speaker 3: Okay, thank you. The Betty Ogill Foundation. I touch it
- 6:00Speaker 3: it because my vision is not to see any often
- 6:06Speaker 3: girls go through what I went through to attain any education,
- 6:15Speaker 3: at least not under my watch. So the foundation supports
- 6:22Speaker 3: education of the volunerable girls, especially from the important Varish
- 6:31Speaker 3: regions of Uganda, that is Karamoja and Chess where I
- 6:41Speaker 3: was brown and bread and Karamoja, of course where most
- 6:49Speaker 3: of my life predey comments happen. So I made it
- 7:02Speaker 3: through education, but I went through immeasonable obscaccles and challenges,
- 7:12Speaker 3: and my number one challenge was school fees. I had
- 7:19Speaker 3: a dream. I had a dream, but I had an
- 7:26Speaker 3: obstacle called no school fees.
- 7:31Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
- 7:33Speaker 3: Right from the time I was abandoned by my garden.
- 7:43Speaker 3: I had no one to phend for me and give
- 7:48Speaker 3: me school fees, and yet I had a dream. I
- 7:55Speaker 3: cried to go to school. I cried my heart out
- 8:00Speaker 3: to the attention of our neighbors who we are also poor,
- 8:05Speaker 3: and he could not support me. The only thing they
- 8:10Speaker 3: could do say stop crying, you are going to die.
- 8:17Speaker 3: Mm hmmm, yes, I and that at that time I
- 8:22Speaker 3: did not care. All I wanted was to go to school.
- 8:29Speaker 3: And I guess I did not care crying and dying
- 8:41Speaker 3: while hoping to go to school. So I the foundation
- 8:54Speaker 3: supports girls, especially the needy of fans, and uh we
- 9:04Speaker 3: cater for all these scholastic materials and including the field.
- 9:16Speaker 3: Most organizations which support education give only school fees. But
- 9:25Speaker 3: I'm telling you I was in a dire situation where
- 9:33Speaker 3: giving me school fees was not enough. I had no
- 9:39Speaker 3: transport money, I had no clothes, I had no books,
- 9:44Speaker 3: I had nothing, no accommodation. So now we support the
- 9:54Speaker 3: girls in everything. And my my first graduate is Slavia Moding.
- 10:07Speaker 4: What is her name?
- 10:10Speaker 3: Slavia s y l B. I a Moding So yes,
- 10:24Speaker 3: I did not know her, but I met her in
- 10:28Speaker 3: high school and she lost her dad and her dream
- 10:34Speaker 3: of education was to end there, and I picked interest
- 10:43Speaker 3: in letting a complete education. So she is now completing
- 10:51Speaker 3: university this semester. I must tell you that we decided
- 11:00Speaker 3: to educate her when we did not have any penny
- 11:09Speaker 3: for her tuition, just like the way I joined university
- 11:17Speaker 3: under private scholars sponsorship. Without a sponsor, I guess my
- 11:25Speaker 3: My sponsor was God. Yes, yes, but through persistent modibiliarization
- 11:40Speaker 3: of fans. Yes, she is almost completing three years. Of course,
- 11:53Speaker 3: not resilience. We would have stopped the way because I
- 12:01Speaker 3: tell you last was it early last year? Yes, it
- 12:09Speaker 3: was geny worry of years before COVID it. To enable
- 12:16Speaker 3: her go back to university, we we we had to
- 12:24Speaker 3: two draw and clear our savings account like the money
- 12:32Speaker 3: we had served. Yes, yes, and I did that because
- 12:41Speaker 3: I am passionate about helping people. Because I'm here because
- 12:47Speaker 3: someone helds, sacrificed and helped me. So there's no need
- 12:54Speaker 3: of me having money in the bank account while a
- 12:59Speaker 3: girl is an often girl having her dream of education
- 13:07Speaker 3: being shattered. Then secondly, the strong force was that in
- 13:16Speaker 3: my high school I had a friend and I talked
- 13:22Speaker 3: about this friend in my book Against All Odds, which
- 13:27Speaker 3: people can get in an Amazon. This girl committed suicide
- 13:36Speaker 3: because she wanted to continue with the education and she
- 13:43Speaker 3: had no sponsor. The person who who had paid for
- 13:51Speaker 3: her to a certain level said that was unable to
- 14:00Speaker 3: two to continue sponsoring, and she couldn't imagine life without
- 14:09Speaker 3: achieving a dream of education. And that is how she
- 14:16Speaker 3: committed suicide. And that really hurts me because this was
- 14:24Speaker 3: a beautiful girl, she was intelligent. All our dreams are
- 14:31Speaker 3: now lying in their grave.
- 14:35Speaker 2: And your your mention, your purpose is to not let
- 14:39Speaker 2: that happen to other girls.
- 14:42Speaker 3: No, no, not under my watch.
- 14:46Speaker 4: Yes, not under your watch.
- 14:50Speaker 2: And you know, Betty, So we have listeners all over
- 14:52Speaker 2: the world, and not everybody really understands what it means
- 14:57Speaker 2: to be an orphan girl, an orphan child, an orphan
- 15:02Speaker 2: girl in particular in Uganda. So can you tell our
- 15:06Speaker 2: listeners what that means and why this is so important
- 15:10Speaker 2: for you?
- 15:13Speaker 3: Okay? And often child in Uganda, depending on which kind
- 15:27Speaker 3: of family they are from, but speaking for many, when
- 15:37Speaker 3: you lose your brand winner life, life becomes hard. Yes, uh,
- 15:50Speaker 3: you have no shelter, you have no food, you have
- 16:03Speaker 3: your dreams are taken away from you, your voice is
- 16:08Speaker 3: taken away from you. Anyone can do anything to you.
- 16:16Speaker 3: You are at the mercy of uh anyone and everyone, yes, yes,
- 16:23Speaker 3: yes so and and to add on to that, being
- 16:28Speaker 3: an often girl in a karamoja at that time, mm hmmm,
- 16:35Speaker 3: the karamojo did not appreciate the value of educating a
- 16:43Speaker 3: girl because a girl was supposed to be married off.
- 16:52Speaker 3: The family gets counts and you go and suffer. I
- 16:59Speaker 3: did see that happening to most of my friends who
- 17:03Speaker 3: dropped out of school, and I never wanted that to
- 17:09Speaker 3: happen to me, and now I don't want that to
- 17:17Speaker 3: happen to any girl dropping from my personal experience. When
- 17:27Speaker 3: my father died, I was too young to understand anything,
- 17:33Speaker 3: but stories are told to me that because my mother
- 17:41Speaker 3: was an illiterate woman, had not gone to school and
- 17:50Speaker 3: seeing the black ball at all, right, and she was
- 17:57Speaker 3: a peasant farmer, a housewife. Yes, my dad, on the
- 18:05Speaker 3: other hand, was educated. So when he died, my mom
- 18:13Speaker 3: was left with the seven children, left to any literate
- 18:21Speaker 3: woman who does not know how to speak English, and
- 18:28Speaker 3: so we were distributed to our relatives, to our uncles
- 18:36Speaker 3: uh and uh. We became slaves to the people who
- 18:48Speaker 3: were assigned to But before that, someone saw us suffering
- 18:57Speaker 3: with our mother. We had no clothes to put on.
- 19:03Speaker 3: We were we're wearing drugs. We were making knickers. Me
- 19:13Speaker 3: and my sister, we are making nickers with the leaves,
- 19:21Speaker 3: with the rugs. Yes. So a good Summaritan sent for
- 19:29Speaker 3: us a bale of used clothes, used clothes, and I
- 19:35Speaker 3: picked one dress, and that dress became my everything. I
- 19:43Speaker 3: went to my uncle's place within that dress. It was
- 19:50Speaker 3: not a new dress, it was a used dress. But
- 19:55Speaker 3: it was my Sunday where it was my uniform. It
- 19:59Speaker 3: was my Christmas where it was my night dress. It
- 20:07Speaker 3: was my everything. And when it got worn out, I
- 20:15Speaker 3: cut and I had only a scrut. Yes, And that
- 20:22Speaker 3: is the life of an open.
- 20:27Speaker 4: Thank you you are of other people. It sounds like yes, yes,
- 20:36Speaker 4: and I didn't mean yeah. I didn't mean to cut
- 20:39Speaker 4: you off. So please.
- 20:42Speaker 3: No, no, yes, And you have no rights, all rights
- 20:47Speaker 3: taken away from yes.
- 20:51Speaker 2: So when you say that under my watch, this will
- 20:56Speaker 2: not happen under my watch, I yes. I really feel
- 21:02Speaker 2: the power of that, Betty. And thank you for sharing
- 21:06Speaker 2: more with our listeners, because I know that they will
- 21:09Speaker 2: feel the power of what you're saying more fully with
- 21:12Speaker 2: that deeper understanding of what it means to be an
- 21:15Speaker 2: orphan in Uganda, you know. And this is uh, this
- 21:20Speaker 2: is twenty twenty one, right, yeah, thank you, thank you,
- 21:27Speaker 2: so Betty.
- 21:28Speaker 4: I'm curious about this.
- 21:30Speaker 2: And lots of people see the thread, but very few
- 21:37Speaker 2: people hold on to that thread, that thread that you
- 21:40Speaker 2: talked about, that thread of hope. And so I'm wondering
- 21:44Speaker 2: if you can just share with our with our listeners,
- 21:47Speaker 2: why you need to hang on to that thread and
- 21:50Speaker 2: to fight for that thread.
- 22:02Speaker 3: You know, challenges, problems are meant to refine us, just
- 22:16Speaker 3: like fire purifies gold. So when you let that thread go,
- 22:28Speaker 3: you are giving up in the process of purification. You
- 22:35Speaker 3: might give up when you were about to come out
- 22:42Speaker 3: be released. So the problems are meant to to to
- 22:49Speaker 3: to purify us, refine us. And and and uh.
- 22:58Speaker 1: M hmm.
- 23:00Speaker 3: This is saying that a faith that has not been
- 23:07Speaker 3: tested cannot be trusted. So we will.
- 23:11Speaker 4: We all.
- 23:13Speaker 3: Face trials, we all first tribulations, adversity, But the real
- 23:28Speaker 3: thing is never to give up. If you catch yourself
- 23:34Speaker 3: almost giving up, do this find a reason for living. Yes,
- 23:44Speaker 3: remember your dreams, aspire for something, realize that moment is
- 23:54Speaker 3: not permanent. I I always tell people that there is
- 24:00Speaker 3: no permanent situation on earth, good or bye. But I
- 24:06Speaker 3: have seen people who were born extremely poor, under poverty,
- 24:14Speaker 3: treacking circumstances, and they have just because they never gave up.
- 24:22Speaker 3: They held only that thread and now they are living
- 24:29Speaker 3: equality life. And I have also seen people who big,
- 24:36Speaker 3: who were born with the slavers spoons in their mouths,
- 24:43Speaker 3: and they they late, they spart there that slavers spoon
- 24:50Speaker 3: out and remained within nothing. They failed to hold that
- 24:57Speaker 3: slaver spoon. They misused the opportunity. People are like us
- 25:06Speaker 3: who were born with the horse and the shavels and
- 25:11Speaker 3: it slashers in their mouths. Know that yes you have,
- 25:17Speaker 3: you have. You cannot let that slasher go. That your
- 25:24Speaker 3: future is in in that hope. So find a reason
- 25:31Speaker 3: for living, have a dream, focus on what is happening,
- 25:38Speaker 3: not what is not happening, and realize that it is
- 25:43Speaker 3: a moment like no other, to to to not give up.
- 25:50Speaker 2: Yes, thank you, Betty, Thank you Betty. So you know
- 25:54Speaker 2: you are a lot of our story. Yours and mind intersect,
- 26:01Speaker 2: and so I don't live in Uganda obviously, but I
- 26:04Speaker 2: live in.
- 26:04Speaker 5: The United States and was born into extreme, extreme poverty. Uh,
- 26:10Speaker 5: and so I really identify with what you're saying. And
- 26:14Speaker 5: I'm just wondering before we close, if you could just
- 26:18Speaker 5: talk a little bit to our listeners. Were you were
- 26:22Speaker 5: put in these circumstances and you fought, and you were dedicated,
- 26:27Speaker 5: and you held on to the thread and you focused
- 26:29Speaker 5: and you found a reason. And so can you talk
- 26:32Speaker 5: to our listeners. You know, is this something that you
- 26:34Speaker 5: were born with or are these traits that anyone anyone
- 26:40Speaker 5: can reach into and develop.
- 26:46Speaker 3: I believe resilience is like a muscle. All of us
- 26:56Speaker 3: are born with the muscles and and uh, some of
- 27:04Speaker 3: us go ahead and develop our muscles, work physical, go
- 27:13Speaker 3: on physical work out two develop our muscles into strong. Yes,
- 27:23Speaker 3: to strengthen our muscles, and uh, some of us decide
- 27:31Speaker 3: not to to two develop our muscles. So everybody has
- 27:40Speaker 3: a trait of the resilience. Everybody can be resilient. It
- 27:49Speaker 3: just depends on what you decide at the end of
- 27:54Speaker 3: the day. Because when things happen to you, whether you
- 27:59Speaker 3: are a president or a jobless person in the street,
- 28:05Speaker 3: oh oh, a minister, you all have the same decision
- 28:14Speaker 3: to make whether to give up, oh there the devil,
- 28:19Speaker 3: and keep on keeping on. So silience is the choice
- 28:27Speaker 3: you make that you are going to and all this
- 28:33Speaker 3: situation in and with a positive mental attitude.
- 28:42Speaker 4: Thank you, no matter what, Yes, no matter what.
- 28:48Speaker 3: No matter what, be a no matter what person.
- 28:54Speaker 4: Yes.
- 28:55Speaker 3: Someone asked me the in the office, Betty, you are
- 29:03Speaker 3: ever smiling. What do you ever get annoyed? Of course
- 29:11Speaker 3: I ever. I get annoyed, I get mad, but I don't.
- 29:19Speaker 3: I've gone through a lot in my life that.
- 29:24Speaker 4: I have.
- 29:27Speaker 3: Mastered how to manage my emotions. And yes, everyone has
- 29:35Speaker 3: the resilience scens of residents in them.
- 29:39Speaker 4: It is just.
- 29:42Speaker 3: Up to you to activate them. Let me with this story.
- 29:50Speaker 3: In twenty seventeen, when I released my book Against All Odds,
- 29:57Speaker 3: there is a lady, a CEO who read my book
- 30:04Speaker 3: and uh and he requested for a meeting within me.
- 30:11Speaker 3: And in that meeting, she was like, Betty, did you
- 30:17Speaker 3: go through all these things you have written in the book.
- 30:24Speaker 3: Then I said, yes, I went through. How did you manage?
- 30:31Speaker 3: I think for me I cannot. I would have given up.
- 30:38Speaker 3: Then I say, I told you know, what do you
- 30:43Speaker 3: do when life pushes you in a corner, like fight
- 30:51Speaker 3: off light mode. What do you do? So some of
- 30:57Speaker 3: those circumstances like just pushed me in a corner, I
- 31:03Speaker 3: had to fight to get in the fight mode and
- 31:09Speaker 3: and that is how I overcame. Then then I told
- 31:15Speaker 3: her you can also overcome. You have the ability, you
- 31:22Speaker 3: have the seeds. Oh my god. Unfortunately, six months later
- 31:31Speaker 3: she got an accident. Mm hmmm, yes, she fail and
- 31:39Speaker 3: her uncle twisted and she was on a cratch. She
- 31:50Speaker 3: was moving with the support for a long time. Then
- 31:55Speaker 3: she called me, Betty, do you know what to me?
- 32:01Speaker 3: I said, no, I got an accident, and I remembered
- 32:08Speaker 3: what I had told her, and she told me, you
- 32:13Speaker 3: remember what you told me that those words kept me going,
- 32:24Speaker 3: kept me going. You can also do it. Everyone has
- 32:29Speaker 3: seeds over residents.
