A speaker argues that believing you are how you look is a limiting lie, though what you wear does shape how you feel and show up. His son got him into watches and shoes, and those choices changed his presence on stage.
I am what I look like. This one's about our appearance and the value and worth that we see in ourselves. How we choose to show up. Not just the clothes that we wear, but our hair, our jewelry, our makeup, things that we adorn ourself with. We identify with a certain look. So I do a lot of public speaking, do some keynoting, and in that process, part of the conversation is I've been trying to grow that part of who I am and what I do is that presentation. How I look when I stand on stage and in that environment, it matters. How I present and show myself matters, especially depending on the group that I'm speaking to. But the truth is, the lie that we believe is I am how I look, how I dress, how I show up. Now, I got to tell you, got to be honest. I was never a shoes guy, but my son was in clothing. He helped dress me for a time, and he would put certain watches on me and certain shoes on me. Man, I really liked them. The clothes that I wear absolutely impact how I feel about myself, the energy that I have, how I show up in environments. So it does matter what we wear.
