Have you ever said something in a meeting that you didn't expect to? It happened to me last week, except it wasn't a meeting, it was in a speech given at the Global Leadership Summit to over 400,000 leaders and influencers across the world.

No one is going to beat a path to your door. Share your ideas, fight for them, and do whatever you need to in order to ensure that your work gets a fair audience.
