Stop Chasing Greatness™ and Start Living Your Potential
What if greatness was looking for you?
In this counter-intuitive keynote, Kevin challenges common thinking with uncommon wisdom on greatness. While we should absolutely have worthy goals and chase our dreams, greatness is another matter entirely. If you listen to the greats, the GOATs, and the gifted ones, they rarely talk about chasing greatness. They talk about chasing their potential. They talk about consistently showing up and doing the work that others won’t do.
Greatness is subjective, elusive and will ultimately be decided by others based on your body of work. What you can control is becoming YOUR BEST. Becoming so good that the world cannot ignore your work. So good that greatness will find you when it matters the most. Are you good enough to be great?
