PEOPLE ARE JUST PEOPLE
Important lessons in life and business:
People are just people and we are all capable of positive change.
I hugely admire Niall McCann's introduction of himself on this first podcast episode where he says "I'm Niall McCann, Dr Niall McCann to my mum".
Niall is hugely accomplished, highly fascinating, a brilliant speaker, a force to be reckoned with and a hard working professional. He is also a husband, father and son.
Someone asked me "how did you arrange for him to be interviewed?" I replied, "I just asked him".
One of the reasons I selected and approached Niall for my podcast is because he is highly personable. He knows his strengths, accomplishments and weaknesses. He has learned to 'label' himself for society and business. I mean "National Geographic Explorer" has you listening doesn't it? But he is NOT pretentious. unapproachable or self-absorbed.
I have learned on the journey of this podcast: that just because I am not 'well known' or don't have an exciting 'label' doesn't mean I am not capable of achieving great positive change. I also learned that I have nothing to lose by asking if someone is keen to get involved in positive change, no matter how important or busy they or others think they are.
