The Talk: Topic: Suck it Up!
The best people in every industry make stupid mistakes. Michael Jordan missed an open dunk in the playoffs. NASA lost an $125 million satellite because they used the metric system for navigation but didn't tell anyone. But... Columbus found America because his math sucked and he headed west. So sometimes it works out. In this talk Carl is going to talk about the boneheaded things he's done in client service over the last 10 years, and how he managed to land on his feet. After hearing this talk, you're bound to feel better about yourself.
