Se retrouver dans une position difficile se révèle être un bon moteur pour innover car cela vous force en fait à émettre de nouvelles idées. Lorsque vous êtes leader, vous ne souffrez pas. Et pendant que vous vous efforcez à aller de l’avant, il se peut que vous ne perceviez pas les démarches entreprises par vos concurrents et les changements de comportement de vos clients, parce que vous êtes trop occupés à contenter le marché financier.

Pain is actually a good driver for coming up with new innovations because it forces you to produce new ideas. Being a leader is not painful. While you are concentrating on looking ahead, you might not detect what the competitors are doing and how your customers’ behavior and preferences are changing because you were too busy pleasing the financial market.

Pour toute présentation, les deux premières minutes sont les plus importantes. L’audience analysera votre personnalité, la façon dont vous êtes habillé, votre accent, vos cheveux, la manière dont vous vous déplacez, vos slides, etc. Tout ça pour savoir si, au final, il est important de vous écouter, ou non. Pendant ces 2 minutes, il est difficile pour l’audience d’assimiler des informations détaillées. Aussi, il vous faut à la place utiliser ce temps pour instaurer la confiance, et laisser à l’audience la possibilité de mieux vous connaître pour construire une sorte de relation avec elle.
