THE WHY AND HOW OF PRACTICE
Why should I?
Did you know that the more you practice a presentation, the more you will sound as though you are presenting spontaneously? It takes great practice to pull off a flawless, professional presentation. Presenting, like acting, is both a skill and an artform. When you consider your audience, context, content, influencing and performance abilities, there is much to refine. Keep in mind we are not seeking perfection. Authenticity, that conduit to trust, is much more valuable. Practice can cultivate that sense of authenticity, you are your best self in the moment, and this will enable the appearance of expert spontaneity.
The best ways to practice • Rehearse – out loud • Take notes • Experiment and adapt • Time yourself • Record yourself
