recently when being observed while doing a presentation, i was told i talk too fast. ok...i'll take that. so i have been coached to work on my talking. work on my talking. seems like an easy feet until i get all excitedandthewordsstartjammingthemselvestogether. yeah...not as easy as i thought.
one idea given to me was to think of myself as a river. so i closed my eyes and say a river. it wasn't a 4 point rapid or anything...but definitly knew where it was going and getting there quick. no calm brook or cruising down the mississippi on a raft for me. i guess in "close your eyes and imagine..." terms, that means i am a fast talker and fast presenter.
so my goal is to think of myself or just think of a slow moving calm river. so i printed one out. it's now staring at me at my desk. (right next to the burning campfire designed to help me remember to keep a fire under my ass) who knows...maybe the constant reminder of will help. or perhaps i'll just look at it and go...that's a nice river and move about my day.
