Tidbit Tuesday - Jones Loflin

Today’s takeaway: delivery matters as much as content. Jones brought high energy, seamlessly connected his message to earlier sessions, and communicated clearly with our team from prep to delivery. He was great from start to finish.

3 tidbits we’re keeping:
-Match your delivery energy to the moment
-Bridge your content to what came before to reinforce learning
-Communicate early and often to make ex*****on smooth
