Meeting Starter: Leading with Persistence

Troy Jackson

Are you correctly assessing the timing of your vision?

Rarely do people understand the hard work that is required to be a successful leader. Leadership doesn’t just happen overnight; it starts with a vision and takes persistence to turn that vision into a reality. 


Leadership expert Troy Jackson discusses a 1957 rally led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Washington, D.C. Even though the rally attracted around 25,000 people, it ultimately had little impact due to the lack of energy around the civil rights movement at the time. Instead of bowing out, MLK was relentless and worked for six more years to build the momentum leading up to the famous “I Have A Dream” speech.


Watch the video to learn how trying times can bring out the magnitude of your leadership.
