Preparing for your delivery
Want to share feedback about the podcast? It would be much appreciated. 3 min survey here:
The best deliveries are prepared deliveries and that means practising - you should always build in sufficient time to practice before doing it for real.
You can practice by yourself, which can uncover opportunities for further refinements, increase your confidence and smoothen your delivery but practising by yourself is of limited value compared with presenting to somebody else.
If you can find someone to practice with, ideally someone of similar experience and knowledge as the audience on the relevant matters, then you can extract even more value from the practice.
If they can highlight the most impactful and least impactful aspects of your presentation, whether that be the messages or how they are delivered, it can help you decide what changes, if any, you want to make before going into the real thing.
The added stress of practising in front of other people will help better prepare you for the real thing too.
Your activity for today is to find someone to practice your presentation on and receive feedback.
Which brings us to the end of our series on storylining. It will become easier and you’ll get better at it the more you practice and always remember to GAME it out. Best of luck.
