Last week I was supposed to MC an event for Wicker Park Group’s Client Relationship Symposium. Well, we all know that I “got the call” from Russia and had to hop on a plane. So the brains behind Wicker Park Group, Nat Slavin and Laura Meherg, and I pow-wowed on a solution and came up with idea of a pre-recorded opening video that would set the tone for the event and give participants something to build on.
(As a side note, one thing game-changers do is adapt and figure it out without a lot of drama.)
So I created 5 Important Traits of a Game-Changer which you can watch below. And what I love is that throughout the two-day event, the list of traits I began grew to twenty-four!
Again, this is not a be-all-to-end-all list. In fact, I could love it if you all add even more. 
So here’s the video:
And here is the list of 24 Traits of a Game-changer:

(And here is a shame-less, self-promoting plug: I’m changing the game for event preview calls, instead of putting mine under the guise of WILD INCREDIBLE VALUABLE content and then zinging you to register for my event, I’m calling it what it is. A preview call for Creating Irresistible Presence LIVE! that also happens to include some pretty awesome content that will be valuable whether you sign up for my event or not.
