Adam I left the webinar frustrated. I essentially saw what I thought was unique obliterated. Lots of people said stuff that I would say. If the exercise was to rethink my value you did well. Mission accomplished. I just don't know what I do that's so different. I am a generalist. help.

Adam, I was on your event today. Bravo. I have been to two other events and each time I have a new takeaway. Thank you! What I can't figure out is how you get so many people to attend your events. I think this marketer needs to learn from a new master. Again, Bravo!

Everything you said resonated with me. The story of the gent whose network dried up is my story. I didn't hire turnaround experts. I hired experts who "owned" something I didn't. Well said and I look forward to speaking tomorrow.

I stopped trying to "sell" myself/capabilities/accomplishments a long time ago, I have created every job I have had since 2009. I know myself better than anyone and I know what to say create interest. Was expecting insights on "finding" the person beyond the gatekeeper who makes the decisions.

I understand the productization concept. I liked the piece about having my value lead for me. I appreciated the "Goldilocks" targeting and I can reach out to these firms (EdTech) but I am struggling to get my head around the idea of my "unique how". I thought I knew it but here I am. I guess if it was so great I wouldn't be here.
