Hard, Sloggy, Off-Key Work. Does it Have to be This Way?
Last week, we had our piano tuned. It took about an hour to go from off-key to pitch perfect.
As I was pondering the efficiency of this process, it dawned on me that there was a lesson in here for us all.
Sometimes it doesn’t have to be hard or take a long time to make significant change.
You know me: I love a good rehearsal process. I love process in general! But there’s a fallacy that a lot of us believe: change only comes from hard, sloggy work.
It’s just not true.
Sometimes what you need is a highly skilled person to come in and tune up your instrument. You can play notes on an untuned piano but it won't create that lovely music and effect you want. (Believe me… I’ve listened to my kid play “Frere Jacques” off key enough for 17 lifetimes.) But tune it up, and voila! Magic.
Likewise, you can give the same speech over and over, but if you're not "in tune" it won't get the effect you want - and getting "in tune" doesn't have to be hard...
The piano technician told us that when he first started, it took him an hour on each octave. Now, with the benefit of his experience, his clients get the same great results in a fraction of the time. When you work with an expert, you get the benefit of their years of study and depth of knowledge.
To prove you are capable of getting big results in a tiny amount of time, I want you to give me just 30 minutes. I’ll unlock what’s getting in your way and give you a tailored set of exercises to uplevel your public speaking, proving that this work really can be fun and quick.
