i say yes to the gigs so that um they'll they'll like me they'll you know whatever it is and you can tell a taker they start with a slide that's right behind them with their website and their social media handles and they'll start by telling you their credentials when they stand up or their clients within 30 seconds we as social animals who are constantly assessing and judging each other constantly whether we can trust each other or not

In 30 seconds, whether we know it or not, we've assessed this person is there for them. They're there for themselves. It's obvious to us. And so I'll listen. I might find you interesting, but my guard is up, right? So I've cultivated a giver's mindset.

And nearly 100% of the time when I have to go on a stage, I will mutter out loud under my breath for me to hear right before I walk out on stage, you're here to give, right? I don't want anything. I don't want your standing ovation. I don't want you to buy my book. I don't want you to follow me on social media. I am here because I have a point of view. I believe that point of view has value.

Other people believe that point of view has value because they've invited me to share it with you. And so I'm going to give you absolutely everything I've got, whether the audience is five people or 5,000 people, you're going to get the same Simon. And if you like it, then if I get a standing ovation, I feel that I've earned it.

If you buy a book or something, I'm grateful, but it's not the reason I came. I came to share. And I think people can assess, because I don't talk about me in the opening salvo, that people can assess that my tone of voice, the way I answer questions, like they ask me a question, I don't say, well, you can read that in chapter three of my book.

I answer the question by answering the question, even if it's not in my interest. And I think there's just a level of authenticity that comes through that I think makes people relax. I've worked very hard to almost entirely remove the word you from my talks. You'll rarely hear me say, unless there's a real reason for it, Here's what you need to do to be a great leader. Here's what you need to do.
