What do you wish you knew before starting your career? I just finished Confessions of a public speaker, a book every speaker should read. I stopped keeping track of how many presentations and keynotes I have given after 500. The book made me think about the one thing that I would have loved to know before even giving a speech. The example I saw back then was that you make a breakthrough (in science, in business, or by publishing a great book, etc.) and then you can ride that wave for many years. I've seen good speakers give the same talk many times. The truth is that in the 21st century it doesn't work. Being a speaker today means that you constantly refresh yourself and the content you present while also making it as spectacular as possible. You have to entertain while keeping your integrity (especially critical for me talking about healthcare). It's a pressing challenge but I've been enjoying this ""ride"" for long. Along these lines, my new keynote narrative entirely dedicated to artificial intelligence in medicine comes out this September. So, what do you wish you knew before starting your career? #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #fromchancetochoice #speaker #keynote #speakerlife
