5 Minutes, 4 Slides, 120 Characters

If you think the large problem is going to get solved in the last 5 minutes of a meeting, you’re lying to yourself and all those who you called to the meeting.

If you think you can communicate your full and impactful plan for going to market in 4 slides, you’re setting others up for disappointment. (And vice verse is true, too. If leadership thinks you can do that in 4 slides, they’ve set you up for failure.)

And if you think you can truly tell a story in 120 characters. One that resonates. One that gets shared. One that is from the heart. Well…

Those who make real and meaningful change in their work or their communities are the ones willing to both invest in it and listen; to put hours in, not minutes; to sit through and thoughtfully provide feedback to all 42 slides; and who use up their 120 characters in the first two sentences of a narrative that’s worth reading.

Stay Positive & If You’re Going To Commit, Then Truly Commit
