"Well that was...awkward." I don’t care if you're 25, 35, 45, 55, or 85, at some point, something is going to happen that makes you feel like a 13-year-old all over again. You'll be in a meeting, a presentation, or a dinner party where something awkward will happen and you'll stand there feeling like the teenage version of yourself.
What do you do in that moment? I've got three questions to ask yourself when you face any of life's awkward moments.

0:00.0 | Hey everyone and welcome to the all it takes is a goal podcast, the best place in the entire |
0:07.2 | world, including all of Canada to learn how to build new thoughts, new actions and new results. |
0:23.4 | I'm your host John Akef and today I'm going to teach you three things to do when you |
0:29.9 | feel 13 and you're going to I don't care if you're 25 years old 35 years old 45 55 85 at some point |
0:39.5 | something is going to happen that makes you feel like a 13 year old all over again. What do you do |
0:46.4 | in that moment? That's what we're going to talk about today before we start today's episode is |
0:52.9 | sponsored by me. That's right today's sponsor is me. I've been really surprised at how many people |
1:00.4 | who listen to this podcast have reached out to me about having me speak at their events. I love |
1:05.5 | that and here's why over the last 13 years I've had the honor to help hundreds of companies like |
1:11.2 | Nissan, Walmart, Microsoft and Comedy Central at events around the world and during that time I've |
1:17.2 | developed three big goals for you. Number one, I want to slingshot your audience into the best |
1:22.9 | year they've ever had. Whether I'm opening, closing or somewhere in the middle of the event, I want |
1:27.5 | to launch everyone out of that room with actionable memorable things that they can apply to their work |
1:33.0 | and lives immediately. Number two, my second goal, I want the sound team engaged in laughing. The |
1:38.9 | sound team has heard it all they have and if I can make them laugh and learn along the way, |
1:44.9 | the audience is going to absolutely love the keynote. Number three, my third goal, I want you |
1:50.8 | to get text messages during the keynote. My favorite sentence to hear from you after I speak is |
1:56.1 | John, my phone was blowing up during your keynote. I'm there to make you look like a rock star, |
2:01.4 | not me. If your boss texts you during my speech and compliments you on how well the event is going, |
2:08.1 | then I know I've done my job. Whether it's virtual or live, 10,000 people in a arena or 15 |
2:14.0 | sales team members on WebEx or Zoom or Microsoft Teams, I'd love to help you with your next event. |
