In this short, informal monologue Dr. Wayne Pernell shares a personal story about a sushi dinner with a client that preceded a high‑stakes presentation to the client’s team. He explains how he asked the client about expectations for the upcoming training, describing the moment as a “punch in the gut” that later became humorous once the situation resolved. The anecdote serves to illustrate the importance of explicitly clarifying expectations before delivering a performance, and how confronting that discomfort can lead to both learning and a lighter perspective on excellence.
