Notable Quotes 

  • Make your audience the hero in your talks and workshops, not you.
  • Giving it all away amplifies the value in your audience's mind of what you can do when they meet you.
  • Story metrics help you to get the data out of your head so that you can have a place where you can put triggers to the stories happening in your life. 
  • The best questions are the questions you ask somebody, and they have to go back to their mind because they don’t immediately have the answer.
