The Best That You Can Be.
You can’t do better than the best that you can do.
You also can’t be anyone but you. The object here is to find out how far you can progress. What is your best? You will be very pleasantly surprised to learn that you can perform at a very high level if you just “let go of yourself” and become a performer.
Do you dare to try to be the best that you can be? I think that most people have it in them to make a story come to life when they let their guard down and act like themselves. You know how relaxed and uninhibited you are when telling a story to friends and family. That is the way you need to “act” when presenting in a business setting. Your guard is down because you are focusing on the audience’s reaction to your story, rather than being focused on yourself.
You will find that you have what it takes to be a much more interesting and memorable speaker. You just have to be willing to let that talent emerge in front of a business audience. Interesting people have interested audiences.
