Billy McLaughlin--Seeing Change Differently

The road to success is not a singular journey. Billy McLaughlin has traveled it often, both as a virtuoso musician and as an international speaker. No stranger to unexpected change, Billy's mastery comes from seeing change as inspiration. In this video, Billy explains that the biggest disability that we have at times is the way we think about certain situations. Where that gets challenged the most is when change is on the horizon.

Billy McLaughlin is recognized internationally as a world-class guitarist, composer and inspirational performer who has appeared on Billboard’s Top Ten Chart. Previously signed to Virgin Records’ Narada label, McLaughlin has 14 CD releases, three National Campus Entertainer of the Year Awards, five Minnesota Music Awards, and his decades of national concert touring earned him the Hall of Fame Achievement Award. But in 1999 McLaughlin vanished from sight as his career crumbled due to a little-known neuro-muscular disorder called Focal Dystonia. After suffering several years without a cure, he embarked on an unlikely attempt to regain his career by re-learning his instrument left-handed. His story is the subject of an award-winning documentary Changing Keys – Billy McLaughlin and the Mysteries of Dystonia, and he received an Emmy Award for his documentary Billy McLaughlin: Starry Night with Orchestra Nova.
