 “When we confuse immutable truths for disputable facts, we risk being misled and manipulated because opinion and agenda quickly turn data into propaganda.” J Loren Norris AuthorJ Loren Norris - International leadership speaker, trainer and coach. Founding Partner with the John Maxwell Team. TRUTH? FACT? OPINION? PROPAGANDA? HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?
“When we confuse immutable truths for disputable facts, we risk being misled and manipulated because opinion and agenda quickly turn data into propaganda.” J Loren Norris In recent decades the idea has become even more prevalent that TRUTH is subjective and determined by each individual. The challenge this presents should be clear, but please, the level of common sense in the world today is diminishing not expanding. I for one, am a firm believer in absolute truth. I know I am as rare as a green bunny with horns. But I have never seen any amount of data, facts, statistics or opinion which will alter the direction from which the sun rises. The amount of information and data and tracking and figures and statistics available in this digital age is truly mind numbing. It is altogether possible to be drowned in the weeds of “data driven scientific facts” which are not even remotely germane to the argument at hand nor relevant for critical decision making. Sources abound in every realm to “prove the data” to back any theory. This reality means, if you have a desired outcome, a specific decision you wish to influence, an agenda to promote, then FINDING DATA TO PROVE YOUR POINT IS SIMPLE! Data, facts, truth, opinion agenda and propaganda are all tools of leaders, communicators, politicians, tyrants, abusers, mentors and manipulators. DO YOU SEE THE DANGER YET? If we as leaders are not acutely aware of outside agendas and critically decisive regarding our sources, even the VERY BEST will be deceived. That’s why LEADERS ARE READERS - do your own homework. Research the best ideas - even the ones you disagree with regularly. Test and retest your logic. Then lead with the best information you can gather. ALWAYS look for the ABSOLUTE truths surrounding the issue at hand BE PREPARED to apologize when you’re wrong because you were misled or ill advised. ”It’s not just what you learn, but who you learn it from.” John C.

Insuperable Vision Workshop - Audio Download with worksheets Day after day I meet people who are struggling just to make ends meet. They are adrift in this vast sea of humanity holding on to their job, their family, their home, and their car with all they've got. They see their life experiences and education as the last hope to find their purpose and identity. They gather, fill and stuff all the money they can into every opportune investment. Yet they are empty, frustrated, angry and just plain fed up. We have all experienced that moment; when we find yourself stuck in traffic, yelling at random strangers to do what they wish they could... but can't... GO! The idea that life can be better than it is today is like the flame of a candle fighting for all its worth to stand against the tempest. We all want a better life. Even when life is good, we want more. That idea, that flame, is the hope that lives in the hearts and minds of all of us. Should that flame be extinguished, hope itself may well go with it. It is the rut of hopelessness that traps many would be shining stars and buries that glow from the sight of the world. It is the rut of hopelessness that extinguishes that flame. Lives that would have been a beacon to the wandering are lost at sea themselves. Inspirations of success that would have been the voices crying out to all who suffer are hidden away in their own stale lives, they cannot share who they are or what the world needs from them. It is my passion to help you find your purpose. I want to see you become successful, but more than that to be free! Without vision people perish. Without vision, we seem to be lost, mind numb robots following the herd into the abyss that is everyday life. We do not live intentionally without a vision for our future. We do not live passionately without a vision for our future. We do not live productively without a vision for our future. We certainly cannot lead without a vision for our future and a vision for the future of those we lead. This audio course will inspire and instruct you to create a vision which will become a significant driving force in your life. Author
