“Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the
complicated simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity.””
-Charles Mingus
"One of the things I learned about in the formative stages of my career was
public speaking. I learned by watching lots of presentations, and one thing I
figured out early on is that most CFO-level speakers — particularly CEOs,
particularly male CEOs—really suck as speakers. They're boring; they're
long; they wander around. I saw speech after speech, and I discovered that
if there's anything worse than a speaker who sucks, it's a speaker who
sucks and you have no idea how much longer he or she is going to suck.
That's a horrible feeling.
To prevent you from getting that feeling, I've developed a Top 10 format. All
of my speeches are in Top 10 format, because if you think I suck, I at least
want you to be able to track my progress through the speech so that you
know approximately know how much longer I'm going to suck."
