The Differences Between Speech and Dinner

I feel like Seth Godin with a capital S and a capital G is supposed to fill the silence, that's interesting questions and inject energy to the interactions. People don't retain me to come give a speech because they need a low key way to bridge the gap before the coffee hour. And so I understand that I'm doing my work when I do that and I chose to do it. But you know, these are choices that we make if we want to be on the hook to make a difference.
