The room has already judged you before your second sentence.
In my journey through life, I get to meet people pitching all kinds of ideas to me.
I get the blessings of being in rooms where decisions are made over other people.
Having spoken on stage all my life and without any intention to exaggerate, I have spoken to a cumulative audience of around a hundred million people, one thing I have learnt is this; the room will always judge you.
There is always a four point gap in every room – time, how you appear, what you intend to communicate and how you intend to communicate. Through the lens of these points, you either earn the right to be listened to or dismissed.
Greatly talented people losing opportunities very often, not because of what they know, but because of how they show up when they speak or how they do not speak when they show up because they are unsure how to speak.
