Hi, Jane

First, thanks for a really engaging description of the creative process, which appears like magic to many of us, especially if the person is highly skilled.  Behind the curtain, you note the planning, the practice, and the careful thought that goes into making something clear to others.

I suspect this same process could easily be applied to the art of speaking - what looks easy for some comes from the same elements of planning, practice, and thought.

The application to leadership, beautifully stated by Jesse Lyn Stoner's words, is right on and ought to be memorialized (I would almost say "memorized") by all of us who care about becoming better leaders and helping others  to do likewise.

... and the inspiration came from a church sign you "happened" to notice ... bonus:)
