Dr. Killeen explores the idea of earned effortlessness through a well known story about Pablo Picasso. What looks quick and easy on the surface is often backed by years of practice, repetition, and refinement. Mastery has a way of appearing simple, even though it is anything but. In dentistry, this shows up every day. A procedure that takes minutes is supported by years of training, experience, and judgment. The same is true in leadership, where a calm and effective conversation is built on countless lessons learned over time. What feels effortless today was earned through consistent work, and what feels difficult now is part of building that same level of mastery for the future.
