Okay, you know what's coming here, folks, we're at the end of the whole sequence on how to answer questions. It's your turn. Now, I'm not asked you to do too much in this course so far. But if you really want to go from an intellectual understanding to an actual skill, having muscle memory, it's critical that you practice these skills, and that you do so on video. Sorry, just reading about it watching me isn't enough. I wish it were but it's not you've got to practice it on video.

So here's what I'd recommend. Think of 1012 questions that a reporter might ask you on the topic you've prepared for. And either find a friend, a colleague to pose the reporter, ask you the questions while you answer them on video or just interview yourself. I realized it might feel ridiculous. It might look ridiculous. Like you multiple identities are something but this is just for you, no one else has to see it.

I want you to practice. And then really, really watch and listen to your answers. And make sure you're following all the principles described so far in this section. Really make sure you're not repeating negatives. Make sure you have a great message that you're bridging back to your messages again and again, that you are reframing and rewriting the question. Make sure you're following all of these things and that you don't get tripped up.

If you have a partner asking you ask them to be tough on you try to be a little bit controversial to test you. But if it's just you ask in a straightforward way and then really listen, watch your answers. And look at it through the lens of what just that five seconds of my answers the only thing that got on TV news or what if that for second phrase is all that got in the New York Times or The Guardian. Would you be happy. So that's your homework assignment. Right now, you want to take it up a notch to get purely optional.

I can't reach through the computer and force you to do this. But it is an option. It's something people pay me a lot of money for in real life and you get it at no extra charge. If you upload a video of yourself doing this, I'll critique it right here. Plus, we'll ask the community, your fellow students to do that as well. So again, it's not required, you can still get a certificate of completion by sitting back and watching but if you really want to master this skill, practice on video, to the point where you think you're great.

Upload it to YouTube, Facebook or some other file sharing service and post the link right here in the q&a section. Thanks
