Communications Insight For More Inspiring Leaders To Be Perfectly Honest...

To Be Perfectly Honest...

 18th Feb 2022
In the 2017 World Championship of Public Speaking Semi-Finals, my contest speech was built around this idea:

“To be perfectly honest, you don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be honest.”

I’d been thinking about Honesty as a theme for months and months. But the language finally came to me while I was on a treadmill at the gym.

Cue: STOP button.

Hop off.

Immediately write it down.

You never quite know when #inspiration will strike.

So, two tips to consider:

1) Exercise is good for you

2) When ideas come, scribble them quick!

What I've appreciated most has been the increased thought the team has been putting into how they come across and what they say. Colleagues in other teams have already commented on the improvement in both skills and confidence.
