You can improve your communication and inspire communities, without stagnating, by de-coupling it from your day-to-day; for example: - I'm a developer organizing indie conferences [0]. I'm always described as an "organization kind of guy." I don't go out of my way to influence on programming techniques.

I'm probably missing other cases of "influencers" who don't slowly stagnate by focusing too much on courses and marketing.
