As children we are taught, by our parents, our teachers, our siblings and our peers, that in order to be loved, we must blend in. We must conform our uniqueness to be “appropriate”. And its an important skill to have – to know society’s rules and be able to act accordingly with volition.
But as artists, as business owners, as entrepreneurs, expressing your unique voice is critical to your success in business and in life.
“Self-censorship is not just self-betrayal and self-abandonment (which would be bad enough), but soul-betrayal and betrayal of our Muse, our inner voice, our highest self.”
Ralf Waldo Emerson
In this class we’ll explore:
- How to listen to yourself in an empowering way – so you learn to know your true voice
- How (and when) to express your true voice
- How these skills serve in your creativity, your marketing and your business and personal relationships
Standing up and standing out takes true courage in a society that encourages conformity. And if you study the truly successful in our world, as I have, you will see that they all had a heaping measure of that courage – the ability and the willingness to take a stand for what they believed and to embrace and celebrate their unique voice.

Mad Skillz- isn’t that a rapper?
“Do your thing and find your audience” vs. “study the hits and conform”- I spent most of Taxi 2010 debating this very topic with my ex-creative partner. I am reassured that you are weighing in on my side. It was very difficult to do this in major label days but very doable now. And to think that there are hundreds of millions of people, and you only need 10,000.
Those are good odds.
Exactly! I think artists need to stop thinking in terms of being famous and start thinking in terms of the work – the whole reason they got into this in the first place (hopefully).
