WATCH: Carmine Gallo in conversation with legendary CEO John Chambers
Carmine Gallo interviewed the CEO on the "The Critical Skill Leaders Need Now." Watch here:
❝ Communication skills are “dramatically more important” today than they were twenty years ago. That’s according former Cisco CEO, John Chambers, whose track record is nothing short of astonishing. In his twenty years as CEO, Chambers grew the networking company from 400 employees to 70,000 and from $70 million in sales to $47 billion a year.
If you’ve ever seen a John Chambers presentation in person, you’ve witnessed something special. Chambers built a reputation for electrifying audiences around the world with a captivating speaking style. Although he delivers presentations about complex topics, he speaks simply and makes the audience feel as though he’s having a one-on-one conversation with each and every person. He walks among the audience and can speak for up to an hour with no notes.
As I learned in a candid and revealing conversation with Chambers at his Silicon Valley home, he wasn’t always a confident speaker. “I am not a natural public speaker,” he acknowledged. “Between the challenges of dyslexia and a deep fear of public speaking, it did not come easy to me. It was really hard to get over.” [Forbes.com]
