We have an hour meeting once a week. From past experience and mistakes, I have learned that, if I have a an important role; Toastmaster, Speaker etc, to not schedule any important and serious work meetings right before the start of Toastmasters. The 30 minutes before, should be spent in preparing the mindset and visualizing that you are presenting a great speech and your audience really wants to hear from you. <br />Same goes for when I am presenting a seminar to clients. Prepare the mindset, tell yourself, this is what I have practiced and practiced for several days. <br />Michael Caine said; "Practice and rehearsals is the work, performance is the relaxation."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988171152115471671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2161870764175544567.post-38239382729880382742013-03-19T11:28:14.074-07:002013-03-19T11:28:14.074-07:00Thank you George!Thank you George!Rich Hopkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08368395405978270849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2161870764175544567.post-55792546483461577102013-03-19T11:27:56.574-07:002013-03-19T11:27:56.574-07:00Great to hear from you David - keep going out and ...Great to hear from you David - keep going out and making a difference!Rich Hopkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08368395405978270849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2161870764175544567.post-80089274884993900452013-03-19T10:55:04.128-07:002013-03-19T10:55:04.128-07:00Great message, Rich!

It's exactly what I need to hear today, especially point E, because I spent several hours last night on point C, watching video of a corporate keynote I gave recently. Specifically, I was watching camera 2, which was shooting the audience. Ouch! Today I shall work on being both a Quick Healer and a Merciless Editor. Thanks!David P.
