Celebrating The Power of Insight

 24th May 2022

5 minutes

This week’s reading.

Thought-provoking stuff it is too.

Celebrates the power of “insight”.

The extraordinary and disproportionate value that stems from seemingly insignificant amount of time and effort - a decision made, conclusion drawn or recommendation offered.

Deep domain knowledge is not enough.

Combine it with discerning judgment and insight on the other hand…

“I spent some time with Sir Richard Branson, and I can tell you that you could certainly do most of what he does, perhaps better than he does it.

“Except for what he does for about five minutes a day… when neither you or I would have a prayer of doing what he does.” [Seth Godin]

As a speaker, you have an opportunity to influence/drive the most critically important “five minutes a day” in each and every one of your audience members.

Their key decision that day.

Their key learning that day.

Their capacity to meaningfully move forward that day.

Focus in on that critical, marginal value in people’s workplace behaviour.

In 2018, Simon coached me with public speaking, style, helped write my pitch, and gave me every imaginable tip to manage my nerves, present with esteem, conviction and win over the audience - with his help I went on to pitch to 3,000 people and win the World Social Enterprise competition. I cannot recommend him more highly to any CEO or senior executive looking to perfect their public speaking and win over an audience.
