Tuesday’s Pearls Of Wisdom

When you operate in your GIFT, you don’t have to be at the head of the table. Wherever you sit or stand, the table and room will shift.

TRUST ME! I KNOW! t I still laugh about this to this day. I was looked over to speak at a big decision-making table discussion for a college. Media and upper execs were in attendance as well as key decision-makers.  The person in charge of handpicking those to sit around the table and speak on behalf of the institution felt blonde hair and blue eyes was the better choice.  He asked me to come to the meeting to just kinda sit there as support. I was pissed because I knew I was the better speaker and really had a lot to offer to the discussion. Long story short… As God would have it and the universe would work in my favor.... One of the college execs asked me to come sit at the table although I wasn't slated to speak. I did as he asked, with absolutely no intention of speaking at all.... but prepared to give a whole lecture if needed. See that's why you gotta stay ready... so you don't have to get ready! They go around the table allowing the "speakers" a chance to present their position. When it came it time for the "chosen one" to speak, she choked. Who do you think bailed her out?  Who do you think was quoted in the media??? Hear me when I tell you…. Regardless of whether you have a seat at the table or not,  if you’re operating in your gift, the entire room will shift for you. If you’re looking for a point to shout, there it is.
