Common Greatness
Heard of Susan Boyle?
If you haven’t heard of Susan Boyle you probably haven’t watched news the past two weeks. If you have, you know that she has come out of nowhere and taken the world by storm with her performance on Britain’s Got Talent. More than 30,000,000 people have watched various YouTube versions of her performance in the past 14 days.
There was a philosopher in the middle ages that said, “God has hidden the greatness of men from themselves lest they be filled with pride”. Susan Boyle’s greatness was revealed and it took the audiences breath away.
You may not be an overnight success like Susan Boyle. You may not be performing in front of the world. But are you aware of your greatness? Within each of us is greatness that is waiting to be revealed to the world that is around us.
So the question is, where can you focus your time, talent, and treasure to reveal yours?
Keep Moving Forward,

Assessment Tools
Ever notice that things that are obvious to an outsider looking in are often hidden from the people on the inside? Many times the most needed changes are changes that cannot be seen by the leaders and team members of an organization.
