This article is a combination of a rant and “in your face” practical paradigm shifts. I actually got a speaking engagment as a result of this article and it was one of the great blessing I have experienced as a business owner. I had done many speaking engagments over the years, but this one was special because many people I know came to hear me speak, and as it happened, I was really in a horrible place emotionally that day. But, with much grace, I made it through and learned a VERY valuable lesson that day–Show up as ME, not who I think the audience wants me to be! As it turned out, I was told later that you could have heard a pin drop in the room and I received a great deal of feedback that I had touched many people in that room that day.
