@Michael Howell did a great interactive session today around where we hold our tension and what ticks we have when speaking. Thanks, Michael! Here are the highlights from the session. You can also watch the recording, here 👇👇 https://www.skool.com/captivate-on-camera-5682/classroom/947a0791?md=85ba61d8e3084eeea6b52ba28094b33a When attention is on you, how do you respond? Do you retreat and hope that the audience leans into you? Or do you lean into the audience and become very direct? When you’re practicing speaking, have a friend observe any tension you may hold in your body and pinpoint where you are holding that tension. Is it in your neck? Your arms? Your face? etc. Relaxation: Take an inventory of your entire body and relax different parts of your body one by one. The inventory is you scanning your own physical presence from top to bottom, or bottom to top. When you do your inventory, what do you notice? Where do you hold your tension? Tension in and of itself is not necessarily bad. The key to improving your speaking is to be AWARE of it. That way you can relax those parts of your body… or you can allow it to be and use it as one of the things that makes you unique. Of importance is the ability to talk to an audience of many as if you are talking to one person! There is a great lesson in the Classroom tab about this very thing!
