Lifetime best opener

During his own wedding: “Funny things happens when one is organizing such an important occasion” and then he shared a story of an amazing secret revealed during the preparations to the wedding.

His stage fright moment

Always nervous before speaking, which is a good thing. It gets the adrenaline flowing. The secret is not to show the nerves.

Communications’ needs for enterprises today

People needs networks, face-to-face meetings.

Main obstacle startups have to pitch their ideas

Lack of confidence. Not knowing their audience.

Recommended book

Rather than a book, an inspiring poem: “If” by Rudyard Kipling

Routine to Shine

1. Eat ice cream shortly before you go to speak

2. Open your voice by singing every morning
