Whenever I’m nervous before a presentation or making a request, I write down a list of things that I want to say.
I also write down the different stories that I will be using.
I used to feel insincere for writing things before saying them.
I always thought that being sincere meant speaking from the heart.
A problem I had was I associated preparation with being a fake.
So I didn’t do any preparation.
I went ahead and presented “from the heart.”
If I’m inspired, the preparation went well.
If I’m distracted, the presentation was a disaster.
I’ve lost sales, interviews, gotten fired, and almost got sued, because of bad presentations.
When I worked in a call center, I discovered that my stories were too long.
Our calls had a time limit called AHT.
My boss warned me that I could get fired for staying on the phone for too long.
Out of necessity, I wrote down my script, and my stories then began cutting out everything I could.
I cut out the unimportant and uninteresting details.
I fixed the grammar errors.
I made the longer sentences shorter.
I simplified the words.
I applied positive phrasing to negative statements.
I arranged the sentences in the proper order.
I saw that my shortened story was the same.
I only upgraded my presentations.
I am still speaking the truth.
My presentation finally had no grammar errors, along with a proper beginning, middle, and end.
When I completed polishing my presentation, it is finally easy to remember and effortless to share.
As a result, my clients and employers all saw me as a reliable professional.
I became a consistent awardee of the sales and customer feedback incentive.
