Has anyone ever called you a competent incompetent?
If so, consider yourself a rookie. But, a rookie with incredible opportunity.
In today’s rapidly changing work environment, even seasoned professionals may sometimes feel like a competent incompetent.
And there’s just one thing I’d like to say about that. Remember who you are and why they hired you in the first place.
When I first became a professional speaker, I knew nothing, zip, zilch, notta, zero, about public speaking.
This was a good thing, my new boss told me.
What the?
And what’s weird about his comment, I agreed with him.
I was fully aware I didn’t know a thing about my new career path.
Public Speaking for a large Central Florida company was frightening. The people that made up the team I just joined were seasoned professionals.
Me?
The new guy, that didn’t have a clue. But they eluded to the reason why they hired me, over all their other choices.
“You have the most heart! The most passion.”
Here we are, 11 years later.
