So how did you do? Did you improve that second item? I certainly hope so. I think you can see where this is going. I need you to look at that stack of stuff you don't like. And I need you to take another presentation on video, review it, critique it.
Here's the thing. I don't know if the stack of stuff you like, is this bigger if it's this big? I don't know if this stack of stuff you don't like is this bigger this big, but you've got to keep practicing on video until the stack of stuff you don't like melts away, and the stack of stuff you do like grows and grows. Now. I don't mean you have to do this until you love everything about how you look. I can look at a video and say, Oh gosh, I had beautiful hair in 1979.
I don't like that. But there's nothing about practice that's gonna make my hair grow. I'm talking about as you are based on your current state. Are you confident you look good. Best and sound your best. And in that regard, I'm very relaxed right now I know I can't look any better or sound any better than I do right now, because I've practiced this.
I've watched it on video many times, so I'm just not nervous at all. That's where you need to be, you've got to get to the point where you can look at a video of yourself and say, That's really good. I can do half as good as that on the video that's going to be seen on my corporate intranet, or that will be seen on YouTube for the whole world. I'll be happy. That's exactly how I want to come across. That's my message.
Makes sense? that weren't me, I would want to watch that. That's the ultimate test. That's the ultimate way for you to get over nervousness, to feel good about this whole process. And to frankly, get to the point where you can't wait to present on video. If you know You come across your very best and that you're communicating your messages.
This actually becomes fun. I know it might not seem like that. Yeah, but it really does. So that's the next exercise. Tape again, review, critique. But this time you got to keep doing it until Not till you pass my test until you pass your test.
I need you to actually really like how you're coming across Now, that may only take one take. It may take 40 takes your audience doesn't care. All they want is something interesting. You're the one who has the most to win from this. So might as well make it work. Now go ahead, keep taping, refining until you come up with something that you really like.
