Intent and preparation
Visualisation
Rehearse the communication mentally so you enter it clearer rather than louder.
The gapEntering something important unprepared, or so overwhelmed that preparation did not survive the door.
When to use it
The night before, or ten minutes before.
The steps
- Name the communication.
- Close your eyes and see the environment.
- See the listener or the audience.
- State your intended outcome, silently.
- See yourself beginning, and rehearse the first sentence.
- See the key message, and their likely response.
- Introduce one realistic difficulty: an interruption, a disagreement, a hard question, a silence.
- See yourself responding to it well.
- See the ending.
- Open your eyes, state the intention once, and go and do it.
- Afterwards, compare the rehearsal with what happened.
You know it worked when
You arrive clearer and more prepared, without depending on a script.
What else it works, and why
- Intent
- You rehearse what the communication is meant to accomplish.
- Message
- The core idea and the structure are rehearsed.
- Delivery
- Pace, voice, pauses and expression are rehearsed.
- Connection
- You anticipate their reactions and the interaction.
If it did not work
If it produces rigidity, rehearse principles and responses rather than exact wording.
In the daily practice
It puts deliberate preparation in front of the events that actually matter.
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.
