Why this topic matters
You've done the work. You know the material. You walk into the room prepared. And somewhere in the first minute, the room makes a decision about you — one you'll never hear. And it's not about your ideas. There are specific patterns that cost leaders credibility, sponsorship, and promotion. Most leaders don't know their pattern until someone shows them. This session shows you — before your next meeting does.
