The Power of the 3 C's: Conviction, Creativity and Courage

If you weren't able to attend the 2013 NSA Convention, you missed out on an inspiring speech from the 2013-2014 NSA President, Ron Karr, CSP. Below are a couple excerpts from the presidential speech, as well as the full video.

These three words "perfectly describe us as speakers, entrepreneurs and the very essence of NSA. As speakers, we have conviction in our message and desires. We have a story to tell, and a dream to bring it to reality. We are often seeking creative ways on how to enhance our success. And each and every day we take this platform, we courageously put forth our ideas and thoughts, sometimes not knowing how they are going to be accepted."

"Here's the bottom line: If we want to succeed today, being good is not enough. We must be great at what we do. So I invite all of us to join together, and be great. Or, in the words of The Boss, Bruce Springsteen, 'Let's come on up for the rising.' Let's together, come on up for the rising."
