Yesterday, I presented a brand new speech about how we can re frame our mindset to make the impossible seem probable. I re-wrote the speech like 17 times, I asked so many people for help, I second guessed everything, and I was convinced that it probably would not be great. In other words, I needed to be an audience member to hear the advice that I was about to be giving.
•
When we start something new we can become so overwhelmed with self doubt that we’re convinced we’ll never get the result we set out for....and in those moments we can seriously consider giving up. Yesterday I felt that way. I wished I had more time, I didn’t want to embarrass myself, and I really didn’t want to disappoint the people who advocated for me to have this opportunity. I wanted to crawl up and call in sick.
•
As strong as that feeling was, I also told myself the only way to get better was get up there and get feedback. To deliver it with the energy and enthusiasm the content deserved and then piece together what could be kept and what could be improved.
•
In the end, it went so well!! I was back at the event today and people were still talking about it! It feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I am so glad it’s over, but I am even more grateful for the lesson it reminded me of. To never be afraid to start taking action. Because realistically this won’t be the best version of this speech - and that’s great! Cause it will keep improving and I will keep refining my message to make sure it’s better and better each time. Now I have a starting position and turns out, it’s actually a pretty good one.
•
I can’t wait to begin touring with this new talk while it continues to evolve, and I want to say a special thanks to the dream team who helped me prepare for this one blakehparsons ian.altman rontite levistanford_headstrong
