The Room Held

Diplomats. Founders. Leaders from energy, finance, law, media, music and marketing, all in one room for the third sold-out edition of Sip & Speak: Leaders in Conversation.

The theme was unstoppable, the honest version, not the polished one. There was no livestream and no replay, and that was the point. The thing that matters in that room cannot be streamed.

I wrote the full recap, from the keynote to the panel to the moment the room celebrated out loud. If you had to pick one word for a room you walked into at your best, what would it be?

This was the room.

Sip & Speak brought the region's most intentional professionals into one evening at Cascadia. The conversations that don't happen on a feed happened here.

Revenue, profit, growth, decline — none of it happens in isolation. Behind every financial metric are human choices made by founders, CEOs, boards, and leadership teams.
Organizations become the cumulative result of those decisions.

Which raises an important question:
If the numbers reveal outcomes…
Do we understand the thinking that produced them?

Executive presence in leadership requires more than reading financial statements. It requires understanding the human behavior behind the numbers.
