Actively Practice and Evaluate Others

your presentation skills and where are you going to do that you're either going to do that with customers that have dollar bills in their hand and they're either going to accept you or they're going to reject you and that's an expensive lesson or you can go to something like Toast Masters or or wherever BNI or whatever networking group where you have to get up and speak in front of people and when you do that you polish your skills at a place where the dollar bills can't mystically disappear here that's where I'm going tonight I'm going to go do I entered a contest I'm going to do an evaluation so what it means is somebody's going to be speaking and I have to tell them how they did in front of a group of people and it's not much differ than the valuations that you give people within your company so if you have uh you know employees that need to polish their skills up maybe they're good at this or bad at that you got to be able to say that the right way because man I tell you it's easy to it's easy to turn people away it's easy to have your message skewed and lost in I don't know get the you get the wrong message and you know what I mean so I'm going to take you along with towards this evaluation tonight show you what I got to do maybe it'll be interesting maybe it'll be a waste of your time we won't know till we give it to go okay so here we are at the speech contest and we have to get up in front of this room full of people here and uh friend of mine Jen sweetzer with say hi Jen hi she's going to be actually competing now Jen is as introverted as they come Jen are you comfortable about doing this tonight I'm fine thanks really cuz I'm not what I what I really want to point out is in front of all these people none of them which I've met before I've got to go up in the front and evaluate another person that I've never met before then all these people get to judge how we do and Jen you also get to speak in front of this whole group of people and they get to all stare at you and evaluate how you're doing and you're doing this because you want to push yourself outside your comfort zone aren't you yep because if you stay in your comfort zone you don't grow do you no exactly so a lot of times the things we do they're not really fun but you got to do them if you ever want to improve and become better so say hi to all these strangers should be fun we'll see what happens bye John they're not all strangers there's Paul my buddy Paul Jackson all right all right the…
