If everything is practice, nothing is wasted

If you want to be a great communicator, consider this motto: “If everything is practice, nothing is wasted.” In this episode we delve into Jehan Casinader's rule for growth from his excellent recent LinkedIn post. Jehan says the only way to grow is to say yes to opportunities and try new things. He’s definitely right, but we also don’t want to fail spectacularly! We want to: ⚖ Push our boundaries AND respect our audience 🍾 Bring unrefined fizz AND remain professional 💪 Take opportunities AND protect our ego We risk momentum if we bomb too many times. But waiting until you feel "ready" is a recipe for stagnation. So don't wait too long, and don't say no too often. Do the thing. As Stephen Wright said beautifully "Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it!" And if it goes wrong, as Jehan says, it was practice.Go you good things!Jehan's post: https://lnkd.in/g6nwDQSU
