TRANSFORMING MOMENTS


COLLIN: THE PROBLEM WITH JUST WINGING IT

“If everybody is freestyling and winging it, you can't make decisions to see if there are needs to be something fixed, changed, or optimized because if everybody is doing something different, you don't know what's working, and what's not.”


NANCY: KEEP THE INTEGRITY

“A script doesn't mean you need to do it word for word, but you have to keep the integrity. So I may use a word naturally, that you wouldn't use, but use a different word that reflects the same meaning. So you don't want people to be clones of one another. I think the most important is the tonality, and learning how to speak in different communication styles to be the most effective, and most listened to.”
