If something is of critical importance, practice with purpose. Judi always pushed me to prepare, practice and then practice some more.
It certainly helps to be open to critical evaluation, and meaningful feedback. Once we get our ducks in a row, consistent repetitive behavior makes us better.
This is so out of character for me — to do all the things I just mentioned. Yet, for this assignment, I am probably better prepared than I have ever been. Now I continue to fine tune and distill my presentation.
Funny how when we step out of character, and our comfort zone, we learn a lot about ourselves. Hard work and meaningful focus usually get rewarded.
