Are you a Guitar Star?

I tuned into Sky Arts talent show today called ‘Guitar Star’, and it knocked my socks off.  I guess if you are auditioning on TV, you have already beaten many other people just to win your moment in the sunshine, so we know they will be good.  The thing that slightly shocked me was just how good they were.  There were 12 year olds I’d pay good money to listen to. 

It is wonderful to live in a world so brim full of talent and potential.  The thing we need to ask ourselves is what talents are lying fallow both around us and within us?  These guitarists are ‘ordinary’ people you may have working in your office or living next to.  Clearly they are a self-selected group who have dedicated themselves to their art, but at one point they needed help and guidance.  What can you do to help those around you grow?  That is one of the key jobs of a leader.  What better gift can you give someone other than the chance to become the person they dreamed of?

Another thought, is what dreams lurk within you that if nurtured, if allowed to grow might take you to somewhere new?  And what are you going to do about that…?
