“The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web.”

RECOGNIZE YOUR DESTINY SHAPERS

I have been giving you a peek into my past by sharing with you excerpts from my autobiography titled, “In Pursuit of Life’s Purpose – A 50-year journey through the maze of life’s complexities.” One of my greatest assets is my public speaking skills. I trace its development back to my junior high school (middle school) days where my head teacher helped hone it. You will find this in page 16 and 17 of the book.

“In middle school, my passion for the literary pursuits and theatre arts led me to join the acting and debating club. This club as the name reveals was involved in debating, poetry recitals and drama. We performed in our own school and competed with other schools in the region as well. The head teacher, Mr. Djaba Solomon-Mensah, was the patron of the club. He was a lover of the arts and took on the responsibility to nurture students who had the interest and the talent…At these meetings, he taught us the skills in debating, acting and poetry recitals. He usually gave us pieces of these literary works to master before meetings. We had debates with other schools which we almost always won. Occasionally, when he wasn’t available, he would put me in charge of the club. I enjoyed those moments and I believe they helped unearth and develop my gift of the gab which has become one of my greatest assets today.

I owe our head teacher a great deal of gratitude for those times he spent with us. As a motivational speaker and trainer, the gift of the gab is at the core of what I do. I cannot be an excellent speaker and trainer without the ability to speak well and convincingly. During those teenage years, I wasn’t participating in those sessions because I had aspiration to become a speaker or a trainer; it was all out of raw passion. Neither did our patron who mentored me have the slightest inkling of my future plans. “

The Qualities of Skillful Leadership
by Jim Rohn

If you want to be a leader who attracts quality people, the key is to become a person of quality yourself. Leadership is the ability to attract someone to the gifts, skills, and opportunities you offer as an owner, as a manger, as a parent. I call leadership the great challenge of life. What's important in leadership is refining your skills. All great leaders keep working on themselves until they become effective. Here are some specifics:

1) Learn to be strong but not rude. It is an extra step you must take to become a powerful, capable leader with a wide range of reach. Some people mistake rudeness for strength. It's not even a good substitute.

2) Learn to be kind but not weak. We must not mistake kindness for weakness. Kindness isn't weak. Kindness is a certain type of strength. We must be kind enough to tell somebody the truth. We must be kind enough and considerate enough to lay it on the line. We must be kind enough to tell it like it is and not deal in delusion.

3) Learn to be bold but not a bully. It takes boldness to win the day. To build your influence, you've got to walk in front of your group. You've got to be willing to take the first arrow, tackle the first problem, discover the first sign of trouble.

4) You've got to learn to be humble, but not timid. You can't get to the high life by being timid. Some people mistake timidity for humility. Humility is almost a Godlike word. A sense of awe. A sense of wonder. An awareness of the human soul and spirit. An understanding that there is something unique about the human drama versus the rest of life. Humility is a grasp of the distance between us and the stars, yet having the feeling that we're part of the stars. So humility is a virtue; but timidity is a disease. Timidity is an affliction. It can be cured, but it is a problem.

5) Be proud but not arrogant. It takes pride to win the day. It takes pride to build your ambition. It takes pride in community. It takes pride in cause, in accomplishment. But the key to becoming a good leader is being proud without being arrogant. In fact I believe the worst kind of arrogance is arrogance from ignorance. It's when you don't know that you don't know. Now that kind of arrogance is intolerable. If someone is smart and arrogant, we can tolerate that. But if someone is ignorant and arrogant, that's just too much to take.

6) Develop humor without folly. That's important for a leader. In leadership, we learn that it's okay to be witty, but not silly. It's okay to be fun, but not foolish. Lastly, deal in realities. Deal in truth. Save yourself the agony. Just accept life like it is. Life is unique. Some people call it tragic, but I'd like to think it's unique. The whole drama of life is unique. It's fascinating. And I've found that the skills that work well for one leader may not work at all for another. But the fundamental skills of leadership can be adapted to work well
