“That speaker constantly goes over their time so we decided against them…”
I once heard this from an event organizer after referring a speaker for their event.
It’s someone who I had referred many times in the past… and they’d always delivered. But one particular organizer decided to do a little checking around.
That’s when they learned the speaker often gets booked for a 45-minute speech… ends up going way over time… and messes up the day’s entire agenda.
Hmm… sounds like this speaker has a problem with reliable delivery.
