Coaching a Keynote Speaker Double His Bookings to 24 | John Livesay | Ep 1010

"You no longer have to play their game." — NiiamahJoin Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and John Livesay, the keynote speaker they call the Pitch Whisperer and author of The Sale Is in the Tale. John came in wanting to double his keynotes. What surfaced was the position underneath the number. A leader who says yes to almost everything because he does not believe the next one is coming. This session goes after the gap between the game you brought and the game actually available to you.Three things you leave with:• The goal you name out loud is usually one level too low• The genius people pay you for is the one you never turn on yourself• Imposter syndrome is an altitude reading, not a defectWelcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference.
