Lessons Learned from the King's Speech

Friends raved about The Kings Speech.   Hollywood proclaimed it Best Picture and Colin Firth, who played King George VI, Best Actor.   The story of the man who unwillingly became King of England and overcame stuttering and insecurity is filled with lessons of personal development.   In honor of the Royal Wedding on April 29 here are a few lessons learned from the King’s Speech:

Things are not always as they appear or you perceive.

No one is exempt from trauma during childhood.

Every career has areas pushing you beyond your skills.

Good rapport and trust in the professionals that help you is key to success.

A cheering squad of one, whether a friend or loved one, is another big key to achievement.

A story, well written and presented, is inspiring, entertaining, and thought provoking. Bravo Hollywood for your choices!

And finally, everyone needs a best friend – a confidante and buddy who shares the valley of disappointment and the peak of success.
