So much talent out there!

I had the privilege to spend a day today with Dr Joanna Martin who generously shared her perceptions on "speaking from the stage" to a sizable audience of business owners, innovators and entrepreneurs. Proof of the effectiveness of the program will be obvious once I begin to "strut my stuff" and your support and feedback as and when will be greatly appreciated. What is apparent to me is that there is a huge bank of talent out there seeking to expand their own horizons, inflate their comfort zones and achieve success beyond the norm. Whilst there is no end of "personal development" opportunities currently in the market place there is also some very high quality on offer. People are keen to learn skills to enhance their business but today was more than that, it was exercise in upskilling people to enhance their lives. The latent talent that resides in all of us is often shielded or constricted by our own hesitation to take risk: trusting in the lessons of the past has been to the cost of faith in the future and the limitless opportunities before us all. All a bit "New Age?' Perhaps but I know myself that when I have taken the biggest risks I have experienced the biggest wins but when I have been conservative I have suffered the greatest losses. I'm in the midst of huge risk at present and I am very excited by the future. I'll let you know how it pans out. Cheers, Jonathan.
