Andrea’s Conclusion



SUMMARY: WHAT IS PRACTICE? 
Practice Does NOT Make Perfect!
Practice is a good thing. 

* Perfectionism is not. We need to stop seeking perfection.


HOW to Practice
Consider your OBJECTIVES for practicing:

* Instead of a goal associated with an outcome, focus on an intention. The WHY.
* For example, if you’re delivering a speech or a client presentation, your intention, your WHY, could be to connect with the audience, to entertain, to deliver a message clearly to your client.
* 2 questions to ask yourself when practicing: WHY am I doing this? And WHO do I need to be in the scenario?

Practice by VISUALIZING.

* VISUALIZING AS IN EMULATING – In the 4P’s framework, we call this PIRATING. Nadine asked me what it is about Madonna that I was trying to emulate.  It’s her swagger.  Suddenly I’ve set an intention for how to show up.  And I have swagger.
* VISUALIZING OUR OWN SUCCESS – Be it mentally rehearsing playing your drums, like Nadine does, or mentally rehearsing a successful client presentation. Practice away from your craft by visualizing.

The BENEFITS of Practice
Practicing allows you to be a less reactive person, and more responsive.

* It’s like muscle memory.
* If you practice something, if you set an intention, you will eventually find that pause between trigger and response. And we all want that.

With practice, the two Qs (the WHY am I doing this and the WHO do I need to be) become second nature.
