One of the great things about being an executive and leadership coach is the opportunity to work with a variety of people who work in a variety of different industries.

It can happen to all of us. We have a library of books. We attend meetings and seminars. We read blogs and listen to those we know. We have experience as a leader and being led. We have all of this knowledge available to us about leadership.
All of this “stuff” can get in our way.
Sometimes it really is best to get back to basics.
If you ask great athletes about the details and particulars of their sport, they can give you tons of technical details, any yet they still practice the fundamentals. Ask great presenters about their craft and they can tell you stories and walk about techniques, and in the end they will tell you to focus on your audience and the core of your message.
