Conversation with a CEO

Question Mark
 
In conversation with a CEO earlier this week...

"How much of your work focuses on helping mgmt teams preparing for a potential sale?" he asked.

"Well, it's far from being the only thing that I do..." I replied. " So, I'd say dozens of engagements of that sort, rather than hundreds."

"Oh, good. I like that" said the CEO. "It's so helpful to bring a breadth of experience to these things..."

Never assume you know the agenda behind a question!

 I was recently promoted into a role where public speaking and inspiring people has become more central to my ability to be effective. I was amazed by how effective just one session was. I heard indirectly that my presentation had been particularly inspirational - one person even contacted the Director of my organisation to say how impressed he had been. Without any exaggeration, I give all this credit to Simon.
