The high-performance habit that will make you a better presenter.

After every presentation you deliver, ask yourself the following 3 questions:
On a scale of 1 to 10, how:
1. Confident did I feel? š
2. Clear was my message? š”
3. Connected was my audience? ā”ļø

Either it went well, or it didnāt āļø.
Given we are almost always our own toughest critics, more often than not, it will be the latter.
I call this The Feedback Trap.
Imagine for a minute that youāve been building a nice streak of presentations that have āgone well.ā You can feel your confidence improving with each one you deliver.
Then, out of nowhere, you have a shocker.
