Thank You To Our Partners AutoFlow, Shop Dog Marketing, In-BoundWatch Full Video EpisodeIn our Episode Today:Every time I hear people talk about practice and it’s connected to public speaking … I feel the need to tear down some misconceptions on this.A lot of times, people think rehearsing their speech is all this means. Memorizing. Repeating.Practice is so much deeper than that.I tie in many elements of Toastmasters and my martial arts background in this episode.I also take the “Practice Practice Practice” phrase and expand on it to three actual levels of practice.It's This:Show up vulnerably to the new thing (Practice 1)Receive and apply feedback positively (Practice 2)Stay consistently curious for a lifetime (Practice 3)Those phrases - Vulnerability / Positivity / and Consistency were inspired by a speech and a visual from Shasta Nelson several years ago - she is a speaker and the author of the book “Frientimacy”. The book is still on my reading list - but the framework she shared was, for me, instantly recognizable in Toastmasters, the Dojo, and yes, a good learning culture in our repair facility!I hope you’ll find this episode inspiring and will recognize yourself as a true practitioner in your career, communication, and leadership.Our Word of the Day:BUNKAI (boon-kai)nounJapanese martial arts term meaning "analysis" or "disassembly"The practical application of kata (forms) with a partnerYou can practice the form alone, but bunkai requires another bodyBunkai is best expressed in my experience as “application.”I hope you’ll apply this tip to: Practice Practice Pracitice!Sincerely,Craig O’NeillThank You To Our Partners AutoFlow, AutoLeap, Shop Dog Marketing, In-BoundAutoFlow at AutoFlow.com.
