- Kenny Harris -We all have heroes. We all need heroes. And we can all BE heroes.
But what is a hero?
To me, a hero is someone to look up to; someone to inspire me – to jolt me out of my complacency. Someone to challenge me from thinking in the “same old, same old” ways.
I’ve learned something from each of my heroes. Each has given me a life lesson – no matter how unlikely the hero may be.
And if a hero is someone who inspires, who banishes complacency, who helps people learn life lessons, can’t we all be heroes?
Can’t YOU be a hero?
When someone puts themselves in your hands, they don’t want the “same old same old”, they want a hero.
They want someone who can help them achieve things they could never achieve on their own.
They want someone they can look up to; someone who can inspire them to go further, faster, higher.
Heroes don’t need to be playing for England (or Scotland, or anyone else). They don’t need to be famous. Let’s not confuse celebrity with heroism.
They just need to be truthful. And brave enough to do what they think is right. They could be in the news – but they could just as easily sitting in the office next to you. Or even sitting where you are.
Think about your colleagues, your staff and your clients. Do you inspire them to do extraordinary things? Do you challenge them to change the things they think they could achieve? Do you change the way they think? The way they feel? The way they act?
We can be challenged and inspired by the people around us. Every person can be a hero to someone.
If you can be that person, then you can be that hero.
Kenny Harris will be doing his highly entertaining seminar around heroes at the FIA Conference in Telford (July 13h). Don't miss it.
