September 24, 2006Wannabees
In every industry there are individuals at varying levels of success. There are those who have mastered the art, those who have some degree of success, and those who have a desire to develop in the area. Sometimes those with more experience in an area refer to the newcomers as
- wannabees.
I’ve heard people refer to speaker and author wannabees, and I find it dismissive. It implies a posturing rather than desire and intent. You never know what unmanifest greatness is inside someone, and if you dismiss them as wannabees, you will probably never find out.

This poison phrase made me laugh because we just used it to name our new bowling team. The Wanna B’s. While bowling can be a serious sport we want to convey the “newness” we bring to the league. Also, we are there for fun. In the corporate climb we often forget to just have a good time. I hope our team name will refelect our open and joyous attitude of enjoying the sport and playing.
