E 215 Find your X Factor for Unstoppable Confidence and Executive Presence
We agree that the purpose of television is to entertain. Most effective enterprise business leaders know how to make their key messages entertaining. All business owners either grab enough attention, or go out of business. And that’s what Maz Farrelly shares with us in this conversation: how to be more interesting. "It’s not my job to be interested, it’s your job to be interesting." Like excellence in all things, paying attention to detail makes the cut. Whether it’s dressing in a signature look (á la Steve Jobs) or crafting unexpected metaphors, or even bringing the best cake in town to a client meeting, standing out from the vanilla beige crowd is the supreme competitive advantage. And Maz has the stories to prove it. And yes, they’re entertaining. "There's no point in being incredible and making beautiful things if no one knows you exist."
