When to use it

Before the real thing.

What you need

The real audience, stakes and environment, recreated as closely as is practical.

The steps

  1. Define the real situation.
  2. Define the audience.
  3. Define the stakes.
  4. Define the likely resistance.
  5. Recreate the environment.
  6. Take realistic preparation time.
  7. Run it with no coaching.
  8. Introduce realistic disruptions.
  9. Complete the event.
  10. Review it properly.
  11. Identify the highest impact gap.
  12. Re run after recalibrating.

You know it worked when

You can perform the whole communication, not a set of isolated skills.

Why all five, and not one

Intent
The objective has to survive everything else that is happening.
Message
What is said has to keep its structure while the rest moves.
Delivery
How it is expressed has to hold under the same conditions.
Presence
The state it is expressed from has to stay steady.
Connection
It still has to reach the person in front of you.

Which drill is yours, in what order and at what dose, is not something a page can tell you. That is what a Discovery Call is for.
