When you went to first grade and tried to learn how to write you had feedback you had a teacher tell
you well you left out a period here you didn't capitalize there you didn't have a comma.
You needed feedback in order to get beyond the basic beginner level of someone trying to form the alphabet
and to write well it's the same thing when it comes to speaking.
But here's the thing it doesn't matter if you're a beginner in intermediate or advanced.
The secret to becoming better as a speaker is constant feedback.
And let me practice what I preach because in a moment you to me is going to ask you to give a rating
on this course.
I know it's early but already you've formed impressions you've either thought wow this guy is wasting
a lot of time talking about radios or he's giving me good practical tips right away.
So I do want you to rate the course but if you find anything that isn't great I want you to write to
me right away message me because as many thousands of speeches I have given I'm still learning I'm still
getting better and I'm trying to improve this course too.
So if you see something you don't like or if there's an element you're not happy with.
Send me a message and I'll try my best to improve this course right away.
Now here's the thing you're not going to hear from most people.
Here's where most speakers whether they're beginners or advanced fail.
And it's also something you're not going to find in the U to me section when they're asking to review
you.
But it's what I'm going to ask you.
It's a way for you to jumpstart over the competition.
The thing to ask when you practice in front of someone or you're giving a real speech don't ask them
what they think.
Don't ask them.
In my five star where the people are going to want to hurt your feelings the real question the significant
question is What do you remember from my presentation.
Ultimately you want your audience to of course have a good feeling of actually feel like you're comfortable
and confident understands you but you want them to remember your messages.
That's really what's most important.
How else are they going to take the actions you want.
So that's what I'm going to do for you right now in addition to asking you to rate the course if it's
meeting all of your expectations and to send me feedback on anything you don't like.
Beyond that I want you to post in the discussion group right now exactly what you remember so far from
this presentation.
What sticks out is most valuable is most interesting is most helpful because if you write down into
discussion Oh T.J. He's very professional he's smooth engaging he's comfortable he's confident if that's
what you write down it means I failed completely.
