I
I am one of the backstage heroes even
though today I’m a speaker standing here
before you on the stage most of my life
I was helping from stage people take the
spotlight and enjoy it me I became a
shadow Walker a talent in background the
one who let others take the credit but
then I found my powerful talent and
became a free spirit intrapreneur as I
started to recruit headhunt and evaluate
people over 13 years ago I began to
notice unique and powerful talent in
others just like me the back stated
candidates what I saw was a huge natural
potential just right in front of us
unused and unnoticed today I want to
give this group a voice and call for a
revolution a revolution of the backstage
heroes actually me being here on this
stage is a living proof that the
revolution has begun we backstage heroes
we are not always too shy of silent and
the word backstage heroes is not another
word for introvert not at all the thing
is that we test-1 don’t want to bring
attention to ourselves
we are not famous seekers and we don’t
care for competition so we let others
bask in limelight and self branding hmm
is not our cup of tea if you know what I
mean some of us might be working in
places where we don’t get to use our
potential it is so easy just to drift in
these jobs it’s harder to show what we
can do with our potential when we are
not shouting from the mountaintop as a
result I have seen how many companies
still don’t know how to use or indentify
these talents of the backstage heroes or
understand the results we could get all
world is
date script designed by the front stage
Lions for the front stage Lions these
front stairs people are good at making
themselves heard making sure that their
talents are being used but don’t get me
wrong they are talented people they are
important we need them
the only problem lies in that the world
is built for them but they are the
majority they are in fact the minority
most of the population in Finland
consists of the backstage heroes it is
said that stereotypically Finnish people
are shy and unsocial but it doesn’t mean
that backstage heroes are like that I
would guess that at least 80% of the
people in this amazing audience
indentify themselves with the backstage
tribe and 20% considers themselves from
stage people and yet our educational
system and our cutthroat corporate world
is best suited for the stars the ones
who push themselves on stage this
doesn’t help backstage heroes get
noticed or heard what we need is other
ways to show our potential let’s take a
minute to paint a vision of a different
world where the ideas of the backstage
heroes are heard and their talents are
being recognized and implemented is this
world a smarter kinder or happier place
to live
think about how it would make you feel
if you could use your most powerful
talents to further the development and
well-being of the humankind
what if you fully understood the talents
that are hidden inside of you and what
if you had the gift that could turn the
tide you are now walking on a busy
street where the self-awareness exists
where both children and adults are being
seen and appreciated in the light of
their specialness instead of their
challenge
do you hear more laughter I do think of
the new innovations that could be
brought to daylight and how would our
development speed-up in every aspect all
of us could have a possibility to do
things we are naturally good at both the
front stage people and the back stage
people this is not a fairy tale this can
be accomplished the manifesto of the
backstage Heroes is let this let
everyone shine by being noticed and let
everybody use their most powerful
talents for the good of our society and
for the whole world you amazing front
stage people out there
please help backstage people shine after
all this is what you do best recruiters
find new ways to evaluate people so that
backstage heroes could have more
possibilities to show what they really
know we don’t tend to boost about our
skills even if boosting is the only way
to get a job or to succeed successful
managers and directors seek out or
establish programs that help backstage
heroes indentify their talent and find
ways for them to use these gifts for the
good of your companies and you backstage
heroes my tribes men and women listen to
me the revolution is here it is time for
us to step up and claim our voice let’s
give ourselves and other people a chance
to see our talents let’s give ourselves
the opportunity to change the world this
is the revolution of the backstage
heroes thank you
