How do people find their inner talent? British author and speaker Sir Kenneth Robinson talked about this at TED. He told the story of Gillian Lynne, a dancer and a choreographer who has worked on famous musicals like Cats ad Phantom of the Opera.
Gillian Lynne never did well in school as a child. She couldn't concentrate and often found herself moving restlessly. Her mother was quite worried about her. She took Lynne to a doctor. For 20 minutes, she talked about the problems Lynne was having in school. Then, the doctor said to Lynne," I need to speak to your mother first. Wait here."
As they left the room, the doctor turned on the radio. He then said to Lynne's mother," Just stand and watch her. The minute they left the room, Lynne was on her feet, dancing to the music on the radio.
The doctor then turned to Lynne's mother and said, "Mrs. Lynne, your daughter isn't sick. She's a dancer. Take her to a dance school."
So she did. Lynne's new dance school was full of people just like her-people who had to move in order to think. Lynne later went to the Royal Ballet School, one of the world's greatest dance schools, and became a great dancer.
After leaving the school, she worked on some of the most successful musicals in history. It is hard to believe that years ago, somebody else would just put her on medication and tell her to calm down.
