Highlights:

“Smiling stands out and makes people feel good. I do it naturally, because I genuinely like meeting people and it creates energy, and people remember me.” - 7:50 - Gary Gamp 

“Here's my secret phrase. ‘I understand if you can't, but really appreciate it if you can’. If I'm asking someone to help me do something, there's an 80% success rate - people don't want to let you down.” - 12:35 - Gary Gamp 

“Could you align rather than agree on a particular point? If the answer is yes, just do it, because you’ve moved forward. Nothing has to be perfect.” - 15:45 - Gary Gamp 

“Forget the next question. Think about the answer to the question they just gave you, and use that as the next question.” - 20:50 - Gary Gamp 

“If you're in a group, it's easy to mistake introverts as people that can't contribute, and it's absolutely not true.” - 26:45 - Gary Gamp
