I wrote about Christopher Mee’s ability to close sales through his speaking abilities in my book, The Connectors. The suggested format of the presentation has definitely inspired me. So what’s his secret? I have observed that Mee is such an exceptional orator because of the way he manages to so eloquently connect with an audience.

You are definitely not alone…Thanks for sharing Ron. To place a bully in a position of leadership is to consent to the abuse of those over whom the bully will control through intimidation.

It could be that “no” means ” not right now” or even a possible “maybe”. You never know until you ask. In 2010, make this a resolution.

The reason this is such a great question is that I’ve witnessed far too many executives confuse vision and mission in terms of both definition and application. My own definition of vision is: Vision is knowing who you are (purpose), where you're going (picture of the future) and what will guide your journey (values).

When I read that definition, I sat back and tried to count the many masks of me…it’s enlightening to see who I have become and how I protected when that survival instinct kicked in.

In other words, this is definitely a discussion to which you want to RSVP. What I’ve realized– as I’m sure you have, too– is that, more often than not, “No idea” is, in fact, an invitation for further conversation; usually standing in for, “I have one but I can’t be bothered to/don’t want to/am too scared to tell you.”
