Hiring for Potential vs Proven Performance based on our collaboration with Mark Michael, CEO at Dev Hub

Many CEOs struggle to turn their hard-earned lessons into a compelling narrative that actually converts readers into clients.

As a 2X bestselling author featured on BBC TV & Times Square who has collaborated with 70+ CEOs, in the next 60 seconds I’ll help you turn real-world decisions into powerful positioning for your book.

In our work together, we explore a simple but high-stakes choice: hiring for potential or proven performance. Early on, potential feels exciting. But as you scale, proven results become the signal that matters. That shift is not just about hiring, it is about how you tell your story.

The strongest bestselling books are not built on theories. They are built on lived experience. Patterns. Decisions. Tradeoffs. The moments where outcomes mattered. When you anchor your book in these real signals, your ideas feel sharper, more credible, and harder to ignore.

That is what separates a book people read from a book that drives business.
