What’s one thing you wish the business world would borrow from the acting world?
The commitment to preparation. As performers, we know that it takes a tremendous amount of rehearsing to sculpt a product into something that is worth sharing with a broader audience. Too often I encounter clients who have convinced themselves that being able to “wing it” is one of their greatest assets as a presenter. In reality, that comfort with speaking extemporaneously is only considered a strength when married to an incredible amount of preparation!
What do you consider your greatest achievement?
Achieving balance between, not only my personal and professional lives, but also balance between my concurrent careers in communications consulting, performance and philanthropy.
Which words or phrases do you most overuse?
If you ask my kids, “Listen to your mother!” and “No!” If you ask my wife, coworkers, or cohort mates I am pretty sure they would say “I have a question” comes out of my mouthpretty often.
