Hello, and welcome to today's show, Legacy Living, Make Your Life Count.

Now, I want to let you know that I have made a few changes
1:00

1:04
little bit more about me and why you can now find my podcasts under the
1:10

1:15

1:33
successful businesses Woo. In fact, I've been an entrepreneur for over twenty five
1:40
years. Before that, I worked in corporate America. I also worked in
1:44
higher education as an administrator and as a professor. In fact, I still
1:49
do a little professing every now and then. I'm also a founding partner with
1:56
the John Maxwell team, and I'm one of their faculty as well. So
2:02
if you need a dynamic speaker to open or close a conference or another kind
2:07

2:13
you need a trusted advisor, a thought partner to walk alongside you, to
2:17
help you with your strategic work, or to develop the leaders in your organization,
2:23

podcast, I'll tell you how to easily find me on Facebook. All right,
3:05
again, I'm delighted and so grateful that you joined me today. I
3:10
sure hope you're enjoying a fabulous day and that you're having a fantastic week,
3:16
because you know what, and the Grand song of the Universe. Life is
3:22
very short. It's short and sweet and very very precious. So I hope
3:28
you're making a difference in your own life, because you know what, when
3:34
you do, you also make a difference in someone else's life. Now,
3:39
a lot of folks really want to make their life count for something, but
3:46
they don't know how, or it just seems so big and overwhelming. They
3:51
just don't know how where to begin. So they ask me, doctor Gloria,
3:57
how do you do that? How do you make your life count?
4:01
Well, let me tell you it is very simple, very very simple.
4:06
You make your life count day by day, step by step, smile by
4:13
smile, every single day three sixty five twenty four seven. You make your
4:19
life count by being there for someone who needs you, by being an encourager,
4:28
an inspirer, an uplifter, by reaching out to someone on your team
4:33
or someone in your organization, in your community, or when you're at home,
4:39
you can reach out to a neighbor, or even closer to home,
4:43
you can call your mom or your dad right or your sister or brother and
4:46
simply tell them, you know what I am calling you today, not because
4:51
I want to have a lengthy conversation necessarily, but I am calling simply to
4:57
say I love you. Or you can turn off your digital media, your
5:06
social media for a while and use that time to write someone a thoughtful card
5:14
or note. I know, I just love getting handwritten notes. There's such
5:18
a wonderful sight in your mailbox. Right in the middle of that stack of
5:21
bills or right in the middle of those folds a junk mail. Wow,
5:26
you have this handwritten note card. You can send somebody a beautiful image or
5:31
a photo, or a link to a beautiful song. And if you're like
5:36
me, you can go out into your deck or yard and pick a handful
5:40
of herbs or flowers. Right and you know what, you write that note
5:46
or card. You pick that bunch of herbs or flowers, not because it's
5:50
a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary. You simply hold someone's hand or
5:57
share your smile or write that thank you note. Okay, you can give
6:00
someone a bunch of flowers just because that's right, Just because Now, those
6:09
just because moments are the ones that I love the most. Can I just
6:14
tell you something, Those simple loving acts of kindness and caring and compassion and
6:21
generosity make a huge difference in my life. You can make a difference too.
6:30
You can make a difference simply by being grateful, grateful for who you
6:34
are, grateful for whose you are, and by being grateful that when you
6:41
know whose you are, you can lead. That's right. You can lead
6:46
with steadiness, with courage, with confidence. You can lead with mastery through
6:53
any situation. Now, let me just stop right there for a moment.
6:59
Okay, some of you I know may not even think of yourself as a
7:02
leader. But can I just tell you something. Maybe you are a teacher,
7:08
or a nurse or a doctor. Maybe you're like me, you're an
7:12
entrepreneur and an artist, or you're a student in college or high school and
7:16
you have no idea of what you want to be, or who you want
7:20
to be, or what you want to do after you graduate. Well,
7:25
it doesn't matter what you do in your professional life, and it doesn't matter
7:30
what life stage you're in. You are a leader. How can I say
7:36
that with such boldness and assurance and confidence. Here's how. If you are
7:45
alive and participating in this great adventure we call life. If you have a
7:49
pulse, if you have breath in your body, then you are a leader.
7:55
Now, maybe you're the only person you're leading at the moment, but
7:59
somebody has to be in charge of you, right, and that's you.
8:03
You are in charge of yourself, right, So you can make a difference
8:11
in your own life, and you can also make a difference in someone else's
8:16
life. When you know how to lead yourself, you could actually transfer that
8:22
knowledge. You can transfer those skills so that you could lead in any circumstance.
8:28
Now, today we're going to talk about how to do just that.
8:33
Specifically, we're going to talk about leading with perseverance, because if you can
8:39
do that, if you can lead with perseverance, then you will be equipped
8:43
to lead yourself and others in any other situation that comes up in your life.
8:52
Now, remember you've heard me say this many many times. How you
8:56
live is how you lead, right, So what you're going to hear about
9:01
today you can also apply it in your daily life as well. What I'm
9:07
going to share with you today is a wonderful example of what legacy living make
9:13
your Life Count is all about. Now, before I delve into today's podcast,
9:20

10:24
Gloria Burgess, PhD. Forward slash. Now, more about leading with perseverance
10:37
Now, I just want to say that we are in the process of creating
10:41
a new narrative, a new story, okay, and that narrative is about
10:48
leading with perseverance. More than that, it's about leading with creativity, leading
10:54
with creative perseverance. Now, I'm so excited and delighted to share this with
11:01
you today because it's kind of a mashup of several topics that are near and
11:07
dear to my heart, leading, creativity, and perseverance. Now, these
11:13
topics are near and dear, and they're also key chapters for me in my
11:20
own journey as a leader, as an artist, as a parent, as
11:26
a daughter, as a wife, as an entrepreneur, as a community servant.
11:33
This new story, this new narrative that we're creating, is pressing because
11:39
finally, finally, more of us know that to lead well in the twenty
11:46
first century, you need to be equipped, consciously equipped as co creators of
11:52
whatever is coming next. So this new story, this new narrative, puts
12:00
leadership, creativity, art and artistry back where they belong, not on the
12:05
margins right, but at the center, at the very core of our spiritual,
12:11
social, cultural, political, and economic lives. In fact, this
12:18
story joins creativity, art and artistry with leadership, because that's precisely what it
12:26
will take to lead well, to lead with empathy, to lead with humility,
12:33
with hospitality, with courage, and sustainability and imagination in the twenty first
12:41
century and beyond. Now, many years ago, one of my mentors shared
12:48
with me, she said, you know, in the Appalachian hilled country in
12:54
the United states. There's a lovely way that some people, especially some of
12:58
the older people, There's a lovely way they still convey and welcome you when
13:05
they greet you at their door. Rather than say hello, how are you,
13:11
Maya or Sammy, rather than saying welcome Michael or Lauren, They'll greet
13:20
you by saying, what's working you. That's right, what's working you?
13:28
So today I want to share with you that in my journey as a leader,
13:33
entrepreneur, and artist, I have been working at the intersection of leadership,
13:39
creativity, artistry, and spirituality for thirty plus years. So this really
13:46
feels like home to me right and I want to share with you as a
13:52
way to consider leadership and artistry as a way of being, thinking and moving
13:58
through the world, a way that has helped me as a creative, as
14:03
an artist, and as a leader. It's something I've written about in all
14:07
of my books and something I continue to write about now. One of those
14:11
books is called Dare to Wear Your Soul on the Outside, Live Your Legacy.
14:18
Now. In this book, I write about what's working me. I
14:24
write about the art of persevering, and I specifically write about the art of
14:31
persevering with whatever it is that's working you. Now, what's been working me
14:39
for the past twenty five years or so is not only perseverance, but it's
14:46
been working me in my life as a leader, consultant, coach, professor,
14:50
entrepreneur, as well as in my more artistic life, my writing life,
14:54
my singing life, my making music life, my parenting life. What's
14:58
been working me it's this invisible matrix, this invisible armature that rules our lives
15:09
as human beings. Now I mean rules are lives. I'm going to share
15:15
a bit about this resource with you, this armature, because when you understand
15:20
how powerful it is, you can actually harness that power and use it to
15:26
make your life and work better and help others do exactly the same. So
15:35
before I delve into that armature, I want to make one thing perfectly clear.
15:41
We are all We are all creative. If you have breath in your
15:46
body, if you still have a pulse, right, if you're participating in
15:50
life, you're a leader and you're also creative. Now, let's talk about
15:56
making that invisible framework, that invisible armature visible. That's what I want to
16:03
focus on with you today. I want to shine the light right there so
16:07
you can easily recognize and more readily amplify the power of this incredible framework in
16:15
your own life and in your own leadership. Now there are seven pieces.
16:21
There's seven dimensions, seven aspects to this armature. I'm going to have time
16:26
to really talk with you about one of them today, but I'm going to
16:30
name them all. So this would be a good time if you want to
16:34
take notes, to grab a piece of paper, grab your iPad, grab
16:37
your phone, okay, and take some notes. So some of these dimensions
16:45
will sound familiar to you, especially if you're a writer, a painter,
16:51
professor, a doctor, a gardener, a dancer, a student, a
16:56
college administrator, a plumber, a firefighter, police officer, a community servant.
17:06
Now that covers a lot of ground, doesn't it, right, So
17:10
again I just want to underscore whoever you are and whatever you do, you're
17:14
going to recognize the pieces of this armature. You will recognize them as creative
17:21
principles or creative tenants, and some of you will recognize them within the framework
17:27
of creativity. But maybe you know some of you learned about what I'm going
17:33
to talk about elsewhere, so you may put what I'm talking about in an
17:37
entirely different context. And that's okay. Here's what I've learned and chronicled in
17:45
my own life. In fact, this is what my research is about in
17:48
my professing life. Right, I called the seven dimensions or the seven aspect.
17:53
I call them seven promises. Why because they're actually I'm going to say,
18:00
covenants that we make to ourselves, to one another, and to God.
18:07
So when I talk about the armature, I'm referring to these seven principles,
18:12
these seven promises, and I want you to be more aware of them
18:18
so that you can harness their power. So here they are. The seven
18:23
promises are gratitude, faith, love, vision, integrity, creative action,
18:33
and legacy. I'm going to say those again, Gratitude, faith, love,
18:41
vision, integrity, creative action, and legacy. Now today we'll have
18:48
time to focus on one of these promises. So I want to shine the
18:52
light on vision. And before I talk about vision, I want you to
18:56
know that all of the promises work together. Just as we have a band
19:03
or an orchestra with lots of different musicians, lots of different instruments, right,
19:08
they all work together to form an ensemble. They all work together,
19:14
and the promises are exactly the same way. They are resources that work together
19:21
to support us in our leadership, to support our creativity, and to support
19:26
us as we keep on keeping on, as we persevere. Right, they
19:32
are ever present resources we can tap into, We can draw on them in
19:37
our day to day living and in our day to day, moment to moment
19:41
lives as leaders. This is the invisible matrix, okay, that I talked
19:48
about earlier. So how do we make them visible? Let's make vision visible.
19:55
So what do we mean by vision? Well, vision is the big
20:00
idea of what you want to do with your team, your organization, your
20:04
community, or maybe even yourself. Right, So it's the big idea,
20:11
not the little baby ideas, but the grand idea. And vision is not
20:15
only about what you want to accomplish, it's also about how do you want
20:21
to go about it? So it's a process as well, all right.
20:25
So we talk about vision as what and how, but it's more than that
20:29
as well. Okay. Vision also includes who. So when you're casting or
20:34
sharing a vision, good questions to ask are who will go with me?
20:40
Who will go with me on this journey? Right? And who will I
20:44
encounter along the way? Who will I partner with? Who will I collaborate
20:49
with out there. There's a lovely African wisdom saying that goes, if you
20:55
want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far,
21:00
go together. I love that. Right. If you want to go fast,
21:04
go all by yourself, go alone. But if you want to go
21:07
far, go together. And I'm saying that anything worth doing is worth doing
21:14
together. Now, here's the really cool thing about vision. You don't have
21:18
to see the whole shebang. You don't have to see the whole vision all
21:23
at once. Right, here's what I know. Your vision will evolve as
21:30
you move into it, as you move towards it, so naturally it will
21:34
morph and shapeshift along the way. So be open to what is revealed to
21:41
you along that journey. Don't get stuck on the vision that you happen to
21:45
begin with, right why Because that vision, the one you begin with,
21:52
the one you start with, may no longer be relevant tomorrow or next week,
21:56
or next month or next year. And this is true whether we're leading
22:00
in a time of difficulty or not. So remember you can have your vision,
22:07
but always keep your knees bent as you breathe and live into it.
22:15
And another thing to remember is this don't get attached to the particular way your
22:19
vision will manifest, okay, be open to outcome. In other words,
22:26
keep your knees bent. Now, one of the many lessons I've learned from
22:30
being an educator is that you have to be a guide on the side,
22:34
not a stage on the stage. Right, a guide on the side,
22:40
not a stage on the stage. You have to see your students, okay,
22:45
whether they're grade school, middle school, high school, okay, doesn't
22:51
matter. I work with adults, right, And you have to see these
22:56
students as highly capable human beings, highly capable learners, capable individuals who can
23:03
share their knowledge and experience and other resources with you and others. You also
23:08
have to see your students as highly capable ambassadors who can take their learning and
23:15
take their expertise and apply it in the real world, in real time,
23:19
in their teams, in their organizations, and in their communities. I often
23:27
apply these lessons when I work with my clients as well. Right. So,
23:32
even though many of them say they want me to work with them because
23:36
I'm an expertedness or that, what they really want and what they really value
23:41
is what I help them discover their own solutions. When I help them unpack
23:47
their own knowledge, and when I help them tap into their own resourcefulness,
23:53
it all boils down to helping them find their own path to their own vision
23:59
of it's possible. So let's talk a little bit more about vision. Vision
24:04
has all kinds of dimensions to it that we need to pay attention to now.
24:11
From a cultural perspective, we tend to talk about vision as if we
24:15
can literally see something, right, see something with our anatomical eyes. But
24:21
in reality, what you usually see as a fog, right, And if
24:26
you don't, you should be seeing fog, because if what you see is
24:32
really clear to you, it's not a vision. It's not a dream.
24:37
Hey, it's a goal. Right. Vision has many different aspects, many
24:42
dimensions, and some of the aspects I just want to say a little bit
24:47
about right now. So vision consists of perception, okay, how we take
24:52
things in. Vision consists of insight and foresight and hindsight and reflection and revelation
25:02
and so much more. Including now, listen to this respect. Respect.
25:10
Respect that means actually to look again, to re see right, to see
25:17
with new eyes, and to see with a fresh perspective. So I invite
25:22
you to think about the various aspects of vision, and to think about not
25:26
only what's working yet with regard to vision, but also pay attention to what's
25:32
working the people around you, nearby or far away, because the world really
25:37
is at our fingertips these days, right, the world is just a clique
25:42
away. So pay attention to what's showing up for other people because those people
25:51
are your potential collaborators, they're your potential amplifiers. There are people who potentially
25:57
can be of service to you or maybe just maybe these are the people you
26:03
can be of service too as well, right, who knows, But pay
26:10
attention and know that if you have this creative fire that's working. Yeah,
26:15
know that when we are made okay, we're made not to walk alone,
26:22
but we're made to walk together. We're social beings, we're made to be
26:29
in relationship. So pay attention to people who you can just link elbows with
26:33
and maybe even partner with along the way. In other words, don't try
26:40
to take a vision and do it all by yourself, right, I mean,
26:44
that's a recipe for failure, a recipe for disaster. Been there,
26:48
done that, got the hood, And so you need to ask yourself,
26:52
you know, if that's you you want to go it by yourself, you
26:55
need to ask yourself, how's that working for me? Right? You know
27:00
what? Vision also includes night dreams in the workplace. We don't often talk
27:08
about that, but this is really huge, so listen up. It's very
27:11
important because in envisioning there is a big element of receptivity. That's right,
27:19
of being on the receiving side of vision. Now, in the northern hemisphere
27:25
Western cultures, we typically think about vision as something that's outward flowing. Right.
27:33
Vision is something that pushes out and is really kind of external to who
27:37
you are. We talk about vision as being very penetrating, being very active,
27:44
which is a very masculine kind of energetic. Right. But another core
27:49
quality that we sometimes miss is that vision can also flow towards us, it
27:56
can flow inwardly. So vision is also about receiving, and if you're receiving,
28:03
you are a receptor, a gatherer, a collector, right, Okay,
28:07
So this is not about outputting the vision, but about being still and
28:14
being that receptor, okay, which is a more feminine energetic. It's an
28:18
energetic that's probably more in tune with people who are very sensitive, very sensate,
28:26
Okay, In terms of how they move through the world in terms of
28:30
how they understand the world and how they make sense of things in the world.
28:33
This receiving energetic helps us tap into yet another aspect of vision, which
28:41
is revelation. Now I mentioned that earlier, right, But this is information.
28:47
These are images, These are sensations that are being revealed to us.
28:52
Okay, so flowing inwardly towards us. Now here's some really good news.
29:00
The archetype of the twenty first century leader is guess what it is, the
29:07
archetype of the visionary. Other names for this archetype as artist and creative.
29:15
Now, this archetype has been around since human beings have been on the planet,
29:19
and in times of great change or upheaval or transition or disruption or transformation,
29:26
humanity can actually tap into this pattern, this archetype to shift the way
29:33
in which we do things, to actually shift how we show up as human
29:38
beings. In fact, we can choose to show up as human beings rather
29:45
than doing humans. Right, that is so good. I'm going to say
29:49
that one again. We can choose to show up as human beings rather than
29:53
as doing humans. In fact, I just got off a call where we
29:59
talked about that, you know, where you have to just kind of slow
30:02
down enough to realize that being okay it's just as important, if not more
30:08
important, than doing right. So during times of great change, great transition,
30:17
we have this pattern in human behavior that we can tap into. And
30:21
that pattern is the pattern or the archetype of the visionary or the artist or
30:26
the creative. And the really good news is that that archetype is now available
30:32
to more people and available to more leaders who are now more open and more
30:37
receptive, right because they're more conscious of this amazing archetype. What's working me
30:45
today is creative perseverance, specifically leading with creative perseverance in our extraordinary times.
30:56
These are surely VUCA times. That's right, I said, Vuca vuca.
31:03
Now, for those of you who might be new to that term, VUCA
31:07
simply means volatility, uncertainty, chaos, and ambiguity. Times where again we
31:15
experience is wave after wave after wave of disruptive change. Okay, and wave
31:22
after wave after wave of what we know of what we're familiar with, right,
31:29
just get stripped away, just falls away, falls apart. So in
31:36
this kind of a world, what we know for sure is that volatility,
31:41
uncertainty, chaos, and ambiguity. VUCA will continue to be the norm.
31:45
What we don't know is what form or what shape it will take. And
31:51
let me tell you something else. This is not new. I mean,
31:56
VUCA is not new, right, It's happened numerous time time in the history
32:00
of humankind, and it has happened throughout the history of the world. What
32:08
our world needs now to respond to this VUCA environment is visionaries. What the
32:16
world needs now is artists. Now more than ever, the world needs our
32:23
artistry, our imagination, our creativity at the center of our individual, corporate,
32:31
and public lives. Artists are informants. They know stuff, right,
32:40
and usually they know stuff way ahead of the masses. Art is an informant,
32:50
art is an armature, and if we're really conscious and intentional, art
32:54
and artists can become agents of change, agents of transformation, agents of innovation,
33:02
of redemption, of renewal. Now, these artists that I'm talking about
33:08
are not running around with paintbrushes, okay, or dance shoes, right,
33:13
They're not the ones with the instruments. I mean, we are talking about
33:16
them, but we're also talking about artists in the sense of, you know,
33:21
how we show up for our professional lives, right, The doctors and
33:25
the nurses we see, okay. The folks who are there serving us at
33:30
the grocery store. The folks who serve us at the food bank to ensure
33:36
that we all have bread on our table, that we all have enough feed
33:39
to eat. The folks who work at the greenhouses all right, who work
33:45
on the front lines. The folks who work behind the scenes to make sure
33:50
that our supply chain works as it's supposed to work. These are the folks
33:55
who deliver blood come rain or snow or sleet or hail, right. The
34:01
folks who find a way when times are normal and when times are difficult or
34:07
unpredictable. These are the folks who find a way to keep on keeping on.
34:14
The folks who hang in there, the ones who persevere, the ones
34:17
who follow the energy of hope, the ones who follow the energy of yes.
34:25
These are the artists I'm talking about. These are the ones who change
34:31
the word impossible impossible too, I'm possible. These are the folks whose first
34:42
name is Can and whose last name is Due. Right. You know these
34:47
folks. So as you go about your day to day, as you prepare
34:53
for the rest of your week. I want you to ask yourself one question.
35:00
Here's the question, what's working yet? Because what's working yet is exactly
35:07
what needs to come into fruition now, not tomorrow, not next week,
35:15
not next month, but right now. What's working yet is your vision,
35:21
a vision that if it came to you, it can only come through you.
35:29
Right now. Remember, how you live is how you lead. If
35:34
you can lead with perseverance, with creative perseverance, you will be equipped to
35:40
lead in any circumstance. All right, Okay, if you learn something today,
35:52
be sure to tell somebody. Okay, I want you to share the
35:57
wealth, share it with your friends, your family, co workers, so
36:01
they can be lifted up and inspired and equipped just like you. One of
36:07
the biggest gifts you can give to someone else is to use your talents,
36:14
your gifts, your signature presence that exists nowhere else on the planet. Right
36:22
And I want you to ask yourself, how will I use my artistry to
36:27
reimagine my neighborhood, to reimagine my home, my classroom, or my team,
36:35
or my pediatric practice or my chamber of commerce. How can I provide
36:42
a lifeline to someone else, maybe even someone I may never know and remember.
36:50
Whatever is working yet is your invitation to step into your vision so that
36:55
you can make a difference in your own life and in the lives of others.
37:02
