#Practice. Rehersal of my #speech for director at large #candidate on the executive of the AVICC.

The pulling back of a curtain to reveal my process. I ✍ write and rewrite, changing the order of things from the first version to the final draft. ✨ After many false starts and multiple takes, some are better than others. It's a balance between getting the audio and pacing to flow with the vanity of evaluating how the visuals look. Over the course of this learning experience in elected service I have been using production skills from my previous experience in 🎥 film. When I was younger I enjoyed participating in rotary speech contest 👏. The work I am doing nowadays is collaborative, because 👂 listening requires trust & team-building. My inner critic can find fault with my performance 😒 and yet the curiosity I have to learn by doing, shines through. Its a blending of direct and indirect skillsets. My goals🎯 are to be vulnerable and bold. I hope to encourage recruitment of new people, with varied experiences, to get interested and participate🥈 in our shared democracy.
