There is no such thing as an agreed fact.
Most weeks, somewhere in Sydney, Jahan Kalantar stands up in a courtroom and tells a story. The prosecutor, in good conscience, tells the opposite one. Same facts, same day, same person in the dock. Nothing separates the two versions but arrangement and the arrangement decides the future.
That is not a trick of the law. That is how reality works. The facts are the cards. The story is the hand you play.
Every business in this room has had the year where forces outside it rearranged everything. Policy moved. Markets turned. The letter arrived. This night is not about pretending those forces away. It is about the one lever no government, no market and no letter can take off an operator: the story you build from the facts in front of you.
Jahan is managing partner of Executive Law Group, a TEDx speaker, best-selling author of Talk Your Way Out of Trouble (Pan Macmillan), and an audience of more than 480,000 people follow how he thinks. He is also an EO member and EO Sydney board alumnus in the room as family.
One sitting. Keynote into working session. Join us at The Haus, Hahndorf.
