“What unconventional wisdom has supported your success, despite advice to the contrary?”
Of course we all know that there is no one-size fits all when it comes to speaking success but there are some basic business tenets we hold as useful, conventional wisdom, in this industry:
- An excellent speech
- Good marketing materials
- A solid sales process
- Delivery that connects
- A professional website
- A social media presence
- A Stream Deck, black box, eCamm, OBS, ATEM, etc…
But what if you don’t have these things or follow the conventional wisdom? What if it’s just not right for you? What then?
In this session we are going to turn the typical masterclass into an anti-masterclass. What are all the things people are doing that are working… but are not supposed to?
How have you created success by breaking the rules?
Together, let’s validate the different paths people are taking toward success, learn other ways of getting ahead if what we’re doing doesn’t feel right, and challenge the conventional wisdom we hold as an industry.
In this session
This session will continue our theme of creating a mastermind community through a peer learning environment (online).
We’ll hear a little from each of our speaking guests, with plenty of time to also learn from each other.
So, bring your rebel secrets, bring your curious questions, bring your appetite to learn and grow, and get ready to bust some myths and break some rules!
