The power of a microphone

Whatโ€™s the most-prized profile photo on Linked In? Yep, the one with the microphone.

Why is that?

A photo or video of yourself striding the stage, microphone in hand (or better yet, with a performerโ€™s wearable set) sends a powerful message.

And boy-oh-boy, that sure feeds the ego! Look at all those fawning acolytes, just hanging on your every word. Heck, youโ€™re the Tony Robbins, the Taylor Swift, of your industry, and customers must surely flock to your door.

Or you could take Epictetusโ€™ view: We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.

Are you listening?
