Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to today's show, Legacy Living, Make Your
0:27
Speaker 1: Life Count. I'm your host, Doctor Gloria Gloria Burgess, international
0:34
Speaker 1: leadership expert and trusted adviser. Welcome to Legacy Living, Make
0:42
Speaker 1: Your Life Count. I'm so delighted that you joined me today.
0:48
Speaker 1: I have a very special guest on our show today.
0:52
Speaker 1: Her name is Betty Ogier. She lives in her home
0:57
Speaker 1: country of Uganda. Betty is an author, an inspiring speaker,
1:04
Speaker 1: and most importantly, she is an advocate for hope and resilience.
1:11
Speaker 1: I can't wait for Betty to share her remarkable journey
1:16
Speaker 1: and story with you. Let me just give you a
1:19
Speaker 1: small glimpse for now. A number of years ago, Betty
1:25
Speaker 1: was in a horrible car accident which resulted in paralysis
1:30
Speaker 1: and speech loss. By God's mercy and grace, she overcame
1:37
Speaker 1: her paralysis, speech loss, and speech impairment. Betty will share
1:45
Speaker 1: more about her story in today's conversation. She also shares
1:50
Speaker 1: much more in her book Against All Odds. I'll tell
1:55
Speaker 1: you how to get a copy of her book later
1:57
Speaker 1: on in this episode. In addition to writing the book,
2:02
Speaker 1: Betty hosts a series of monthly forums which she calls
2:07
Speaker 1: Against All Odds talks. These talks are absolutely and positively
2:14
Speaker 1: purpose driven, and Betty's purpose is to inspire hope and
2:20
Speaker 1: resilience and to transform lives. Betty is also the founder
2:26
Speaker 1: of the Betty Ogiel Foundation in Uganda. Her foundation is
2:31
Speaker 1: a charity organization that educates destitute orphaned girls, especially from Karamoja,
2:39
Speaker 1: an impoverished region in Uganda. She's also a multiple award
2:44
Speaker 1: winning human resources professional and she is a John Maxwell
2:50
Speaker 1: Team certified coach. Today's topic is all about resilience and leadership,
2:58
Speaker 1: two topics that are near and dear to my heart.
3:02
Speaker 1: And I can't think of a better person, a better leader,
3:06
Speaker 1: a better human being to address this topic than Betty.
3:12
Speaker 1: I met Betty several years ago when I was attending
3:15
Speaker 1: an International Maxwell Certification conference in Orlando, Florida. When I
3:21
Speaker 1: met Betty, we just had this residence. We just clicked,
3:26
Speaker 1: and when I had an opportunity to hear her speak,
3:30
Speaker 1: she spoke so passionately about her life and her purpose.
3:34
Speaker 2: I mean, she was on fire.
3:38
Speaker 1: So I can't wait to host this incredible, amazing and
3:42
Speaker 1: lovely human being. My friend, my colleague and mentor, Betty
3:49
Speaker 1: Ogiel now Before I bring Betty on, I just want
3:53
Speaker 1: to take a moment to connect the dots between today's
3:57
Speaker 1: topic on resilience and leadership and legacy living. And there
4:02
Speaker 1: are many ways that resilience and leadership connect to legacy living,
4:08
Speaker 1: which you'll hear more about later. For now, let me
4:11
Speaker 1: just say that legacy living is a way of being
4:15
Speaker 1: and a way of living and moving through the world
4:18
Speaker 1: so that we make the conscious choice to be the
4:23
Speaker 1: difference we want to see in the world. We make
4:25
Speaker 1: the conscious choice right here, right now, not in some
4:30
Speaker 1: distant future. We make that conscious choice day in and
4:35
Speaker 1: day out, three sixty five, twenty four seven. Now, more
4:40
Speaker 1: about that a little bit later. One more thing before
4:44
Speaker 1: I bring Betty on. Today's conversation will be aired in
4:48
Speaker 1: two parts. That's right, Betty was so inspiring and shared
4:53
Speaker 1: so much great stuff. We're running our conversation in two parts.
4:57
Speaker 1: So now let me introduce you to my friend, my mentor,
5:03
Speaker 1: and my colleague, Betty.
5:08
Speaker 3: Thank you for joining me today, Betty, I can't wait
5:12
Speaker 3: to have this conversation with you. As you know, you're
5:16
Speaker 3: one of my favorite people on the planet and just
5:19
Speaker 3: love the work that you're doing. So I want my
5:22
Speaker 3: listeners to hear from you and to hear your story.
5:26
Speaker 3: And I'm going to begin by asking you just to
5:29
Speaker 3: say a little bit about who you are, where you're from,
5:33
Speaker 3: and this question and that is about resilience. Okay, So
5:40
Speaker 3: your name, where you're from, and if you can answer
5:43
Speaker 3: this question about who is a resilient person?
5:51
Speaker 4: Okay, thank you, Gloria. It is always an owner to
5:58
Speaker 4: speak with you. And UH two, just pick from your
6:07
Speaker 4: wise mine my name is Betty O'Gill Rubanger. Rubanger is
6:16
Speaker 4: my husband's name. And I am you Gandhan, living in
6:24
Speaker 4: your Ganda, born and bred in your Ganda. And UH
6:32
Speaker 4: I am also a mother of three handsome boys. Of course,
6:40
Speaker 4: I am married to a man, one man, and UH
6:48
Speaker 4: in the market place, I am a human resource professional
6:56
Speaker 4: and also a coach with the John Maxwell team, so
7:06
Speaker 4: I wear many hurts. I am an author of the
7:13
Speaker 4: book Against All Odds, and I founded a foundation UH
7:21
Speaker 4: which helps the education of often girls from the impoverished
7:33
Speaker 4: regions in Uganda. And to do that, I also UH
7:43
Speaker 4: established and he started Against All Odds talks which aimed
7:52
Speaker 4: to inspire up and transform lives. So I am very
8:00
Speaker 4: happy to be here and just for my my listeners
8:11
Speaker 4: who are hearing me for the first time. I normally
8:17
Speaker 4: like putting the Westerns the Wonder to rest. Yes, I
8:26
Speaker 4: am an inspirational speaker who speaks majestically, not by choice,
8:34
Speaker 4: but by its circumstances beyond my control, which is why
8:44
Speaker 4: I'm more passionate about resilience. So a resilient person is
8:51
Speaker 4: the one to me who is able to rise again
9:00
Speaker 4: above their circumstances, to to wear a smile on their
9:10
Speaker 4: face despite the fact that they are still in the
9:16
Speaker 4: tunnel in the process, in the pre purification line, you know,
9:26
Speaker 4: So resilience, A resilient person is one who is able
9:38
Speaker 4: to achieve their dreams despite the circumstances life will you
9:49
Speaker 4: throw at them?
9:51
Speaker 3: Yes, thank you, Betty.
9:54
Speaker 4: So.
9:55
Speaker 3: I love how you talk about being able to overcome,
10:00
Speaker 3: come and triumph over your circumstances. And could you just
10:05
Speaker 3: tell us a little bit about you know, you have
10:09
Speaker 3: gone through so many changes in your life, Betty, you
10:13
Speaker 3: know and we all have, but your your changes have
10:16
Speaker 3: been brought about through external circumstances. And I wonder if
10:21
Speaker 3: you can tell our listeners about, you know, how the
10:24
Speaker 3: accident that affects your your speech and affected your resilience.
10:34
Speaker 4: Thank you, Gloria. That is a very good question. Now.
10:41
Speaker 4: James Allen said that our diversity introduces a man to himself.
10:51
Speaker 4: But for me, a diversity of the accident re introduced
10:58
Speaker 4: me to myself because it was not the first a
11:04
Speaker 4: diversity I went through, and it was it was a
11:13
Speaker 4: man and it is still among the air diversities I
11:21
Speaker 4: went through. So Maybay to give a little background to it.
11:32
Speaker 4: Fourteen years ago, I got a motor car accident which
11:39
Speaker 4: left me with a brain injury, a broken neck. I
11:46
Speaker 4: was paralyzed from head to top and I I lost
11:56
Speaker 4: my ability to speak because the sigh my but my
12:03
Speaker 4: speech center was bruised in the brain. So I became
12:13
Speaker 4: a very vegetable. I was wheelchair bound. I could not
12:20
Speaker 4: say hm a thing, or even make a sound. It
12:28
Speaker 4: was a prayer quest for me to just make a sound,
12:33
Speaker 4: things that we take for granted every day.
12:39
Speaker 2: So how the.
12:42
Speaker 4: Accident affected my resilience. In fact that the accident only
12:53
Speaker 4: most made me to give up. But I remembered what
13:02
Speaker 4: I had already gone through in life. I remembered how
13:09
Speaker 4: I lost my father at the age of three. I
13:16
Speaker 4: remembered how I was abandoned at the age of fourteen.
13:26
Speaker 4: I remembered how I was poisoned by a neighbor who
13:31
Speaker 4: got tired of looking after and abandoned of an girl.
13:39
Speaker 4: I remembered how I walked twenty one hundred and twenty
13:46
Speaker 4: kilometers with the twenty lid jerichan of local potent gene
13:55
Speaker 4: on my head, working on bare feet, smuggling local potent
14:05
Speaker 4: gin across the border to Kenya, the neighboring country, to
14:12
Speaker 4: Uganda to look for school fees and to look for survival.
14:21
Speaker 4: Then I remembered how shortly after going back to school,
14:29
Speaker 4: I was beaten by his poisoners snake. I remembered how
14:37
Speaker 4: several times, many times I almost became a school a
14:46
Speaker 4: school drop out. I remembered how I slept on the
14:54
Speaker 4: benches of the sports ground changing room for three years
15:03
Speaker 4: while pursuing my degree course. Then I remembered all that.
15:09
Speaker 4: Then I looked at my medals, athletic medals. Then I
15:18
Speaker 4: looked at the chair with the wheelchair I was on.
15:25
Speaker 4: Then I that gave me back the resilience to fight
15:33
Speaker 4: on for my life, for my dreams, for my future.
15:39
Speaker 4: So the accident really mean juvenated my result to achieve
15:52
Speaker 4: my dreams. Yet again it reminded me that I had
16:01
Speaker 4: to take charge over my life again.
16:07
Speaker 3: Thank you, Betty. You know, you have been through so many,
16:13
Speaker 3: so many valleys and peaks, you know, and they go together, right,
16:18
Speaker 3: and God puts them together in our life. And you know,
16:21
Speaker 3: praise the Lord that he was able to send you
16:25
Speaker 3: into this place of remembrance of all of the places
16:30
Speaker 3: that you you know, have triumphed, you know, the valleys
16:34
Speaker 3: that you were in, as well as climbing back up
16:37
Speaker 3: into the mountaintop. Right. And so when I think about resilience,
16:41
Speaker 3: you know, I think about many many different qualities and
16:46
Speaker 3: we'll get to that a little bit later. But you know,
16:49
Speaker 3: I wonder if you might share a little bit with
16:51
Speaker 3: our listeners about your COVID nineteen journey. You you know,
16:58
Speaker 3: just recently went through that with your husband, and could
17:03
Speaker 3: you tell us a little bit about that, because that
17:04
Speaker 3: seemed like another you know valley, right the God.
17:10
Speaker 2: That God put you in.
17:14
Speaker 4: Yes, Actually God works in mysterious ways, yes, And through
17:27
Speaker 4: our pain it makes us realize our purpose. So the
17:39
Speaker 4: COVID nineteen was recent yet another challenging obstacle that I
17:53
Speaker 4: had to wait to go through and it it was
18:04
Speaker 4: I could say, one of the worst moments. It reminded
18:13
Speaker 4: me of the accident where your life just changes in
18:22
Speaker 4: a in a blank of and I so, yeah, there's
18:31
Speaker 4: stage t's score changed for us. My husband and I
18:39
Speaker 4: were all diorganized with the COVID and my husband was
18:50
Speaker 4: a more serious serious stage. And we had two big
19:00
Speaker 4: picked by an ambulance from home. So you can and
19:08
Speaker 4: you can imagine we were. We were bounced from hospitals
19:19
Speaker 4: because hospitals were full of COVID questions. The first hospital
19:27
Speaker 4: bounced us and we had to go to the next.
19:32
Speaker 4: Thank god, my employer was footing the bills, but the
19:40
Speaker 4: bills were quite a huge.
19:50
Speaker 3: So you're being transported by ambulance, which is very expensive.
19:57
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes.
19:59
Speaker 2: And from one hospital to another.
20:02
Speaker 4: Yes yes. And and all this time my husband is
20:09
Speaker 4: I could say, getting satious, convalising every two minutes.
20:20
Speaker 2: I was.
20:22
Speaker 4: Like a crazy mad woman in the ambulance and not
20:31
Speaker 4: knowing what to do. So I was the status call
20:39
Speaker 4: had They changed in a matter of seconds from all
20:46
Speaker 4: the time my husband started convosing from a comfortable home
20:54
Speaker 4: to a hospital bed and and being taken care of
21:07
Speaker 4: people who were addressed like they are going to the moon,
21:13
Speaker 4: like all covered up, Oh yes, yes, so, and not
21:29
Speaker 4: knowing what could happen mm hmmm. And in the same
21:37
Speaker 4: period I lost many close people, including my former boats
21:47
Speaker 4: in my former workplace. It it passed away when I
21:55
Speaker 4: was on the day I was declared COVID was still
22:03
Speaker 4: then while in the hospital, many other close friends, including
22:11
Speaker 4: members of parliament and ministers, dying with something that is
22:19
Speaker 4: in your body that you're in the hospital with. So
22:27
Speaker 4: the level of uncertainty required.
22:31
Speaker 3: Resilient, yes, absolutely, and hope and hope and hope yes
22:39
Speaker 3: and so Betty, my, just my deep condolences. I know
22:43
Speaker 3: that you're now through that episode where you had to
22:48
Speaker 3: be hospitalized with your husband. My condolences for your losses
22:54
Speaker 3: of your friends and people that you.
22:56
Speaker 2: Knew and very close to.
22:59
Speaker 3: And you talk talk about not only resilience but hope, Betty,
23:03
Speaker 3: and so I'm wondering if you can share with our
23:05
Speaker 3: listeners you know what the power of hope is for
23:10
Speaker 3: you and for them.
23:20
Speaker 4: Hope is is a very crucial uh thing in our
23:28
Speaker 4: life because if you lose it, you have lost the
23:36
Speaker 4: will to leave you. I've lost all hope and That
23:43
Speaker 4: is why you see people committing suicide. The person who
23:49
Speaker 4: commits suicide has lost hope. So what is hope. Hope
23:57
Speaker 4: is finding a reason to living. Hope is hoping for something.
24:09
Speaker 4: Hope is maintaining a positive mindset. Even a minist challenges.
24:20
Speaker 4: Hope is uhh acknowledging that there is this situation which
24:28
Speaker 4: is huge, huge, and it is not under my control.
24:39
Speaker 4: But I hope some mhm, some way that there is
24:47
Speaker 4: a power which is greater than I can perceive. There
24:56
Speaker 4: is a good somewhere. There is that that power which
25:06
Speaker 4: caused me to come to existent, and that power is there, Yes,
25:15
Speaker 4: and and and and yes, just knowing that, yes, there's
25:25
Speaker 4: a power greater than you. Yes, and hanging on that
25:31
Speaker 4: power hanging I'm talking about God, the Almighty God.
25:41
Speaker 3: You know, I couldn't agree with you more, Betty.
25:43
Speaker 1: Uh.
25:44
Speaker 3: You know, we often hear about hope and the popular media,
25:50
Speaker 3: and uh, for for people who believe in God, we
25:54
Speaker 3: know that the ultimate hope is believing in God's strength right.
25:59
Speaker 2: And his faithfulness.
26:01
Speaker 3: And so that's how I hear you talking about it
26:04
Speaker 3: as well.
26:05
Speaker 2: Bettie, what would you say.
26:06
Speaker 3: To our listeners who maybe they don't believe in God.
26:11
Speaker 3: I don't know, But what might you say to them
26:15
Speaker 3: about the power of hope connected with you know, shattered dreams.
26:20
Speaker 3: Some people's dreams are shattered by COVID, others, you know,
26:25
Speaker 3: circumstances in their life. But what would you say to
26:27
Speaker 3: them about the power of hope and resilience.
26:34
Speaker 4: Scripture says that even when you face a fire, uh,
26:46
Speaker 4: we should do big blood because there is joy ahead
26:53
Speaker 4: of the fire. Yes. And I guess everybody has heard
27:02
Speaker 4: of the saying, the common saying that there is light
27:10
Speaker 4: at the end of the tunnel. Yes, who brings that light?
27:16
Speaker 4: It is good? It is good? Who walks you through
27:21
Speaker 4: the tunnel? It is God. Imagine what power do you
27:27
Speaker 4: have to get yourself out of that tunnel? It is
27:33
Speaker 4: a power beyond as Yes, even in the fire, you
27:40
Speaker 4: can flourish. Yes, even in opposition. This COVID has opposed
27:52
Speaker 4: many of our dreams, and its shattered many of our dreams.
27:57
Speaker 4: But I can tell you that there are people and
28:01
Speaker 4: companies who have made a lot of money and success
28:07
Speaker 4: in COVID. Why because they focused on hope. They had
28:17
Speaker 4: hope for for for better tomorrow. But they they phone
28:25
Speaker 4: something that they could do in that situation they are in.
28:37
Speaker 4: They maneuvered around COVID and UH they they did not
28:47
Speaker 4: let COVID define them. They defined what COVID could do
28:57
Speaker 4: to them. They took uh charge of what they can do.
29:06
Speaker 4: They focused on what is working. If you look around you,
29:13
Speaker 4: at least something is working in your life. If you don't,
29:21
Speaker 4: if you you you you're listening to my voice and
29:26
Speaker 4: you think that all is shattered, all is gone. I
29:34
Speaker 4: am here to encourage you that because you are alive,
29:41
Speaker 4: there's something working around. At least you are able to
29:47
Speaker 4: breathe without oxygen support.
29:52
Speaker 2: Hung on.
29:54
Speaker 4: That thread. I saw people in hospital of it isolation,
30:03
Speaker 4: struggling to breathe. They could not breathe without help of occiden.
30:18
Speaker 4: Now you and me, who are able to breathe by
30:26
Speaker 4: our slaves busy complaining about what is not working? Okay,
30:36
Speaker 4: So hope, hope is UH acknowledging that even if this
30:45
Speaker 4: sickness is there, but it can't stop you. Sickness as
30:52
Speaker 4: long as you are alive, cannot stop you. People not
30:57
Speaker 4: liking you is something you can do with the handle.
31:05
Speaker 4: As long as you are alive. Not everybody will be
31:09
Speaker 4: like you. People not believing in you it's none of
31:16
Speaker 4: your business. I like, I like my My other mentor
31:27
Speaker 4: is less brown. I've never met him physically, but he
31:33
Speaker 4: says other people's opinion what other Yes, other people's opinion
31:44
Speaker 4: about you is none of your business. That's right. And
31:48
Speaker 4: he also he also goes ahead to say that it
31:55
Speaker 4: is a full time job to change yourself. So you
32:01
Speaker 4: can't change them. You can't change people from having opinion
32:08
Speaker 4: about you, either negative or positive. They are entitled to
32:15
Speaker 4: their opinion. So it is for us to realize that
32:23
Speaker 4: we have a life to live as long as we
32:27
Speaker 4: are still alive. That is hope. We have a purpose
32:32
Speaker 4: to feel, feel to feel feel as long as we
32:37
Speaker 4: are alive. We have a destiny to to to look
32:43
Speaker 4: forward too. So there's always there's always something working around us.
32:54
Speaker 4: Never lose hope. Yes, you can, you can, you can.
33:04
Speaker 4: You can achieve your dreams. They COVID might delay, Oh mit,
33:13
Speaker 4: I would delayed your dream, but it has not shuttered
33:18
Speaker 4: your dream sang on to it. And as long as
33:23
Speaker 4: you live a loose up, you really achieve your dream.
33:29
Speaker 3: Well, thank you, Betty, you know you are. You are
33:32
Speaker 3: a living testimony. And I truly believe that God puts
33:35
Speaker 3: us in these valley places, wilderness places to strengthen us
33:41
Speaker 3: and to equip us. And Les Brown is one of
33:45
Speaker 3: my mentors too, so and I've had the pleasure of
33:48
Speaker 3: meeting him, so I you know, I love I love
33:51
Speaker 3: that he's one of your mentors as well. Betty, could
33:55
Speaker 3: you talk to us a little bit about you mentioned
33:58
Speaker 3: earlier Against all Odds? And what is that for you?
34:03
Speaker 3: I mean, I know you have a wonderful book called
34:05
Speaker 3: Against All Odds. I know that your life has been
34:08
Speaker 3: about against all odds? But can you say in your
34:10
Speaker 3: own words, what is that about?
34:12
Speaker 4: For you? Against all odds? Is about? For me? Against
34:27
Speaker 4: all odds? It's like the high way to greatness, like odds,
34:38
Speaker 4: odds the grounds upon which greatness is bread, whether we
34:46
Speaker 4: like it or not. Because without some life defining challenges, obstacles,
34:59
Speaker 4: problems I don't think they are, will would be greatness
35:07
Speaker 4: for anyone oh there, whether it is an individual or
35:13
Speaker 4: any organization, There would be no greatness without heartache, without confusion,
35:22
Speaker 4: without diversitation. This life uh tastes that are breed hm
35:37
Speaker 4: as any prepares us to greatness. So without my obstacles,
35:45
Speaker 4: without the things I went through, I don't think I
35:49
Speaker 4: would be able to to to encourage anyone to to
35:58
Speaker 4: to give hope to any word, because I believe there's
36:07
