I went to a gathering of local business leaders and was shocked who they picked as a guest speaker. Who was the person to speak in front of this talented crowd? Why and how did he deserve this honor? For those on the dais with him were either local governmental officials or individuals with some special certification and all he had was a BS in entrepreneurial marketing. Yet for some reason I think he held his own even if there were some rough edges. I guess if they had given him a bit more time to prepare other then at that moment he would have lost an edge or two but would he have also lost a bit of his authenticity? I guess being who I am may impress more then I would think and people actual believe I should speak about it.
