THE COST OF NOT FIXING IT

A talk that's forgettable costs more than $225.

You're paid thousands for giving a keynote speech, but if it's boring, they're only going to pay you that one time. A pitch nobody remembers doesn't get a follow-up meeting; it gets a dismissive email with "best" as the sign-off. An all-hands where nobody laughs means your team will discreetly scroll Instagram during the next one. The room doesn't tell you it was forgettable. It just doesn't help your career in any way.
