I live in a bizarro world.

I deliver strategic workshops to Executives using frameworks and tools I taught first year students at University over ten years ago. I work through my own systems and frameworks with junior, middle, and senior managers of all descriptions. It is the same stuff, but the context, language, and lens delivered through is tweaked for these various audiences.

Why would they listen to me?

Because I am their boss...? Because of the school I went to...? Because I am well groomed and have nice shoes...? Because I am charismatic?
