Leading Hope with Kevin Jack

Comfort and Growth are mutually exclusive.

You cannot help someone who doesn’t want growth want growth.

Don’t allow Comfort to be the settling point for your team.

People who desire growth will just find somewhere else to grow.

You’re never full comfort or full growth, always a balance.

Plagiarism: The practice of taking someone’s work or ideas and passing them off on one’s own.

What we are saying

1. Ideas do not come out of a vacuum, they come out of a culture. Frank Moore, “No preacher is greater than the tradition itself.” Your perceived originality is overhyped.

2. As you’re learning to turn the faucet on, you might need a clear springboard to get to your own idea. Where people get in trouble: They make no effort to make it their own.

Originality is overstated.

You have to copy before you can be original, you have to know the moves before you can make up your own steps.

Turn the Faucet On:

– Release the valve, don’t blocking the flow.

You already have something to teach, you’re just unaware of it because it’s currently being blocked.

What turning the faucet on does:

– Creates awareness

– Stirs your creativity

– You start to learn rhythms

You know more than you realize because you’ve never attempted to communicate it.
