Michael Vincent is a world renowned close up magician, the most senior non-white member of the Magic Circle, a powerful keynote speaker on #leadership, #management, #DEI #Diversity, #Equity and #Inclusion, #performanceexcellence and #sales. His story of struggle over many years, and how rising to excellence has so many parallels with success in sales and management. How did his mentors affect his trajectory and velocity? Listen and learn. How did losing his hearing in 2013 affect him? How did he react and eventually apply his training to adapt?
Here's his Tedx Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/michael_vincent_the_magic_of_perception_mine_yours_and_ours
Mike explains how growing up, in 1970's London as the Afro-Caribbean only child of a single mother he was largely isolated by circumstances. His mother taught him to read very early and he lived in books. When he saw his first magic show, his wonder and astonishment led him to the library and 6 years of practice in isolation.
A happy meeting with his first mentor, Alan Allan, introduced Mike to a world that was previously beyond his awareness, taking him to perform across the world. A master of his craft technically, Mike explains the importance of the performance, understanding your audience and above all, understanding and acceptance of yourself. His investment in his mind, his stage performance, his communication goes well beyond mere technical performance. His stage presence is flawless, seemingly effortless and the product of a relentless pursuit of mastery of the fundamentals.
Over the past 3 years Mike had to give up work to look after his mother. This chapter in his life carries so many lessons for our humanity and prioritising what really matters even at a personal price.
Some of you will find this a tough episode because it holds up the mirror to who we really are and who we could be. A smörgesbord for thought in episode 421 of #TheInquisitorPodcast
