Can i please practice on you?

Disney Keynote Speakers
A fellow TEDx AUK Speaker captured this. Technically, i/we should be on the red dot. An audience volunteer played the part of a Disney Guest.

Discovered another email from the Summer as i deleted hundreds of emails in the sent folder and “hold for later” folder. In-box is at two emails, trash is always at zero…

_________, hope you’re having an awesome day. i’m practicing for a TEDx Talk in Kuwait in April and looking to get in front of as many diverse groups as possible.

Title: Why Going The Extra Mile Is A Flawed Concept, And What To Do Instead

Who: You and your teams

What: A 12-15 minute TEDx Talk “rehearsal”

Where: Orlando

When: Anytime between April 1-12

How: No AV & no setup required, groups from 4-100+

Why: In exchange for my practice(s), you/your team gets a (potential) life-altering mindset-change for serving others, at work AND at home.

Every day, do something that scares you, jeff 😃

TEDX Talk practice #8

Disney Institute Keynote Speaker
Yesterday. Miraculously, the WordPress photo uploader worked this time.

Got “greedy” and tried to upload another photo from yesterday but it didn’t work. So i used this one from last year instead.

TEDX Talk practice #8 at a local hospital (1st photo above) for the CEO and the 20-member executive team.

What is fun about this preparation is balancing the high stakes potential personal outcome and the risk that i may not be ready by April 27. To become intimate with what resonates and what doesn’t, repetition and reflection is key.

There are 17 days days until the TEDx Talk in Kuwait.

Meanwhile, i need to prepare for tomorrow’s marathon podcast recording day.

Not so seriously.

It was their idea, not ours.

 

Delivering a special keynote speech i’ve not delivered before.

Why?

An awesome client asked for something i didn’t have.

Initially, the answer to their request almost was no, but in taking a deep breath and asking myself “why not, and, what if”, i instead said, “Absolutely”.

The practice has been fun, inspiring, and enlightening.

The more i do it, the more i love it.

Lost count but it averages three times a day.

Practice like you mean it.

A discovery too…

i can speak the Disney Way about anything.

At Disney Institute for the 15 years i was there, we only spoke about our five core topics, two of which have since been discontinued (in 2013) as stand-alone products (Brand Loyalty…Creativity & Innovation).

These six speaker tips for world class results, practiced constantly will elevate a speaker into a class of their own.

Proof?

Seriously?

Preach what you practice.

Blogging isn’t the product, it’s the preparation

Sitting at Starbucks yesterday, contemplating the options for Mid Life Celebration’s website landing page, this video had me realize something.

 

 

My business centers on speaking.

Prolific blogging and writing are simply the equivalent to an Olympic athlete staying in shape and honing her skills and abilities.

Blogging isn’t the product, it’s the preparation.

The book is the product.
