No Room for Nice? Love, Leadership and the True Value of Your Legacy

Can you become a respected leader in your field without sacrificing your closest relationships? As the world grows smaller, and each of us as creatives are granted more and more influence, the answer to that question becomes more and more important.  Some would argue that that to be truly exceptional, you must push yourself - and others - regardless of  feelings or emotions. This “win-at-all-costs” mentality is popular to those who feel commercial and vocational success is their ultimate goal. But for faith-focused creatives, leading people with love, acceptance, and purpose is a higher priority than simply being considered ‘the best.’ In this passionate discussion, we’ll compare the lives of some of our most popular public figures, who have paid a heavy price for their version of excellence, with others who have clearly left a legacy of excellence AND love. Key Topics covered in this episodeWhy excellence for the sake of personal validation doesn’t equal true success Why some of our most creative musical legends are remembered fondly The key difference between leading from talent and leading from loveResource Links mentioned in this episodeListen to our interview with best-selling author Jordan Raynor on mastery and excellenceListen to our discussion of leading other creatives with Grammy Award-winner Daniel WeatherspoonLearn more about our latest group coaching program to help you get to the next level as a creative / musical entrepreneurLearn about The 4 Questions you need to ask before going Full-Time in Arts and EntertainmentDownload our free Checklist to radically improve your livestreaming concerts Make your LiveStream an OMG!
