Imagine being asked to deliver new material, on a subject you have never addressed, on short notice, under pressure, three times in 24 hours. Today, Mark and Darren talk with professional speaker and coach Sheree Cain-Jones, who found herself in that situation recently. Her insight from the lessons learned, and the principles she applied along the way, will help you navigate the ‘new content on short notice’ path, and deliver your unforgettable presentation.
SNIPPETS:
• Acknowledge the weight of responsibility when delivering new content
• Stop, think, take it in, then decide to accept an assignment on short notice
• We can find reasons to say ‘no;’ find reasons to say ‘yes’
• Be wary of your ‘echo chamber’ and lean on your support group
• Start with a PREGNANT PREMISE
• Adopt a research mindset and dig deep into your topic
• Put on your hat of humility
• Be vulnerable, even though it creates risk
• To internalize content, record, listen, re-record, listen again
• Don’t be perfect; be prepared
• Incorporate your strengths and skillset
• Your message isn’t in you; it IS you
