It was not just about this It was about this as well

The worlds leading brands have leaders who build trust

Things are different to what they used to be

So why aren’t you doing this?

Here is the soft and nice way of looking at it

Here is the more direct thought…

1 I don’t have the time

2 I don’t see it as a priority

3 I am busy doing customer work

4 I’m not that interesting

5 I don’t have anything to say or an audience to say it to!

6 I have enough customers already

7 I am not confident doing it

8 I can’t afford it

9 I don’t get why I should do it

10 I don’t know how to do it in a modern way
