How Do We Measure Up? (A Tale of Two Speeches)
In this episode of Creative Drive, I share a story about two speeches given at our Toastmasters club in McKinney, Texas. Both were centered on the same idea: measuring success. But the way they were delivered could not have been more different.
One left people discouraged and hesitant to participate. The other reminded people that growth happens one percent at a time and that true success is measured by people, not checkboxes. The result was immediate. Members who had been quiet suddenly stepped up. Volunteers filled every role. The energy shifted.
This episode is a real-time example of how leadership and encouragement shape culture. If you have ever wondered what makes people lean in versus shut down, you will want to hear this story.
