Another year and another of Microsoft’s CEO Summit get together’s of the rich and powerful for the corporate world. There is no getting away from the fact that the people attending this faux private event who control over $3 trillion annually and 10 million employees are in fact the real movers and shakers in the global business world.
In an event that runs from May 13th to the 15th the big speech obviously had to be Bill Gates’ keynote on the morning of the 14th. Now can you imagine being the one standing in front of all those incredibly powerful people and trying to give a speech?
Me .. I’d be nervous as hell and sure you could try and use the old public speaking trick of imagining those wealthy and power folks in their underwear but somehow the idea of visualizing Jack Welch or Warren Buffet in their underwear is even scarier.
How would you do if you had to give a speech in front of people like that?
