Key Takeaways:

  • Being reliable and competent builds trust
  • When you're going to pitch a complex idea, have two slides only — if Moses can get his complex points across on two slabs of stone, then you can get yours across in two slides
  • Your mood  — what effect you have on others and your environment, tenacity — failing but getting back up again and being able to deliver will set you apart from the pack
  • Never stop learning

"(C‑Suite executives) aren't the smartest people in the room; our job is to be the most strategic people in the room." — Jeffrey Hayzlett
