Like children, personalities grow at different rates. All of us learn at our own pace. But most broadcasters are anxious to hear their current vision for a radio show. So they try to force it into being. But it doesn’t work until you get to The Personality Leap.
Many personalities want to become the next Dave Ryan or Elvis Duran and assume the way to get there is to replicate the show’s structure and grow into it. That doesn’t work, either. Growth is a grind. Acquiring a new skill or mastering an old one takes time and dedication. It’s like a young child learning math facts. You go over the flashcards day after day, and when you think they’ll have to repeat second grade, they wake up one morning, and they get it.
That’s how it is coaching personalities. Sometimes, it feels that you’re getting nowhere. Then, you experience The Personality Leap.
