Have I ever mentioned my son Fox before?
In case I've overlooked it, he's currently the lead in Billy Elliot in the West End
In fact we've just got home after show 182
After 22 months in the show he's coming to the end of his run -after all, he's now 14 years old and you can only play a 12 year old for so long.
With the finish line in sight, Fox has blown me away with his hunger and energy for going out on a high.
It's all too easy, when the finish line comes into view, to lose focus and commitment.
Not Fox.
He's found a way to make the role new and different every performance, and I know he'll keep doing it right to his last performance.
He knows that the regulars in the audience (and there's a whole bunch of them) will be looking for new bits and the newbies will expect the best show ever.
Life is a series of bittersweet endings and exciting new beginnings.
Its up to you to recognise the next part of the journey and go out on a high.
When you know the end is in sight, you've got two choices
Wind things down or ramp things up
My tip?
Leave the audience on their feet yelling for more.

What's on my mind
About Me
- Kevin Jackson
- The glasses are important, since I’m almost totally blind in one eye. This means I have zero depth perception. Instead of making snap judgements, I have to think around a subject and look again to try and gain a sense of perspective. And that’s what I’m doing here - taking a different view of the trends and patterns around us to see if they’re as close as they seem, or further away than we thought. There’s not a discipline within the communications mix that I haven’t spent time in – what connects them though, is my passion for igniting advocacy and word-of-mouth. I’ve also worked on multi-platform campaigns for some of the world’s biggest brands, we are all on first-name terms. Ultimately, whether it’s a consumer, business or internal audience, no one is exempt from my belief in engaging experiential communications. Over the last four years ago, I’ve been busy developing relationships across the telecoms, technology, FMCG, retail and energy sectors, to name a few.
