Stop Rehearsing The Speech In Your Head

Stop rehearsing the speech in your head. Start drafting the actual document. That's the fix. Every leader walking into a summit this week isn't sitting around waiting to feel confident. They're up at 5am with the briefing papers, marking up the same page for the third time, because the work is the confidence. Here's the thing nobody says out loud. The room doesn't care how ready you feel. It cares what's on the table. The Cybertruck team got mocked for two years straight. They kept building anyway, because feelings were never on the roadmap. Prep the material. The mindset follows.
