There was something about him. Something different. Odd. He was still fluent and coherent, as charismatic as ever but there was just something that felt off. He was in control of his material, delivering the strategy and the statistics confidently. He looked out over the audience and smiled. But you couldn’t help feeling there was… just something. He seemed to pause and listen. Just for a second. He glanced. Not at a screen but at a space in front of him. It was fleeting. Easy to miss. But it left you feeling that there was someone else giving the speech.
