Sam breaks down the three biggest mistakes executives make: over-preparing content while under-preparing delivery, relying on scripts instead of frameworks, and skipping stories in favor of raw data. He walks through a practical reframing process you can use before any high-stakes moment.
Key Takeaways:
• Confidence isn't the absence of fear — it's a trained response to fear
• The higher you climb, the heavier your words become
• A script produces stiffness; a framework gives you flexibility
• Stories sell better than any feature list ever could
