Jeannette talks to renowned theatre director, Luke Kernaghan, on the ways in which he has harnessed the power of his creativity to unlock success, the value of connections and how networking has accelerated his journey of growth, and why following your passions is the key to lifelong happiness when it comes to your career choice.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
There is no substitute for authenticity, and you cannot truly be yourself until you've asked the internal questions required.
Sometimes the forces that drive us are difficult to identify, and manifest themselves through instinct. We should always listen to our inner voice.
If we are able to identify our passions, and forge a career in that sector, then working becomes a privilege, and fulfilment is far easier to achieve.
Theatre in particular, thrives upon community. Those who are in the field, raise each other up and encourage support from all sides.
BEST MOMENTS
'Your energy is incredible. You clearly love what you do'
'My journey was not linear'
'You don't go into theatre to make money!'
This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.
