With meetings, be sure to get an “early touch of the ball”.

Say something in the opening minutes.

(Ideally, in addition to a personal greeting.)

 In 2019 I had the pleasure of working with Simon while pitching at the final of The Venture, the most important competition for social entrepreneurs. Simon not only helped me to deliver a perfect pitch to an audience of 2,500 people, he also helped me to improve my body language and storytelling abilities.

I am very certain that I won that contest thanks to Simon's help."
