Kick-ass advice, David! I've had to filter the advice I've gotten from my Toastmasters public speaking mentors whose style is different from mine. I always listen to their words-of-wisdom, but I then have to filter whether their advice actually applies to my personality.

I'm a loud, arm-waving Malaprop and sometimes the advice (from people I respect) is to tone it down. Thanks for sharin your story of having toned-it-down only to bounce back up to being yourself. I likes yer style, homie!

@reidwalley Lol Malaprop. Keep it up toned up!

David your style and personality got me hooked on The Rise, please do not change. This video really speaks to me in that I work with people who have a style the opposite of mine. But I am not going to change. Thanks again for a great vid.

@Jeepguy255 Awesome, and don't worry I only know how to me :)

Great video David. This is what makes everyone individuals. If I wanted to see a boring Rise To The Top, there is CNBC or whatever channel. This is the beauty of the mouse, if someone doesn't like you & what you are doing, they always have the choice to click off.

@phenomenalagent Totally agree. And I think it is a doubt many of us face when you hear something like that and staying strong to who you are is the key as opposed to trying to change for a few select randoms. Great point and thanks for watching.

@lindsayc888 Lindsay - Absolutely, never fear it. Some will resonate with it and become super fans/supporters, etc. Others might not and that is totally fine. Keep rocking!

Great Advice David. As some one just getting started, I used to fear even having my mug out there and figuring out who it is that I want to portray in my personality. It came down to embracing who I am and where I've come from, embracing my story, and letting that evolve over time. Awesome stuff and keep up the great work.
