Last week at our

annual conference for NSA

(National Speakers Association),

we all participated in the

classic board-breaking exercise.

I hadn’t done it in years,

but it is never not amazing.

And powerful.

It’s so easy for any of us to dismiss

the value of a basic exercise

(whatever that may be in your field)

by imagining, “Yehhh, I’ve done that.”

or “I already know that.”

But there’s tremendous value

in returning to core practices

and classic exercises.

Over the course of the conference,

I sat in on scores of sessions

(both mainstage and workshops),

taking notes, listening to

new ideas and perspectives,

and watching presenters in action.

As well, I had multiple 1:1 conversations

with colleagues who asked for input

on their own work and how to take

their speaking skills to the next level

to Rock The Room®.

No matter how advanced you are

in your particular field,

what actions can you take

in the coming weeks and months to

…improve your skills,

…gain new insights,

…and reset your mindset

to move yourself to where you

ultimately want and need to be?

Risk Forward & Rock On,
