GO FOR GOLD

The Paris 2024 Olympics are providing chills and thrills. We often held our breath as stumbles completely unnerved some athletes and dashed their chances of medaling. Others shook it off and came back even stronger. If you’re facing a challenge-- when running a race or delivering a presentation, there are ways you can adjust and recover.

Preparation:

What you may not expect is that a poor rehearsal can ensure a solid performance-- when it counts. The US women’s gymnastics team had many missteps in the semi-finals, but went on to win Gold in the all-around competition. Stay positive. And before you perform, loosen up physically, breathe, and remember your Intention.

Delivery:

Waiting to go on (in gymnastics or speaking) ramps up anxiety. To get into the performance mindset and be focused, practice deep breathing or listen to music. We call this bridging.

While performing, if you have a misstep-- like the female Chinese gymnasts on the high bar, put it immediately behind you and press on, staying in the moment.

In the Audience:

Support your teammates. Keep your expression positive and if your colleague stumbles, give your version of “Shake it off—you got this!” that we heard from one of the gymnast’s parents in the stands.

After the event, give a teammate support and positive feedback, even when they haven’t done their best. It’s impossible to always be 100% and everyone needs bolstering from those of us who know how difficult it is. Faster. Higher. Stronger.

SEINE SPEAKS

The Paris Olympics have opened with much fanfare. But concerns about the Seine’s pollution remain, despite 1.5 billion Euros spent. Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo promised the Seine would be clean enough to host water events, even though swimming in the badly contaminated river was banned 100 years ago. To prove her point, she recently took a swim there, touting the Seine as “exquisite.” Hidalgo took desperate measures in an important battle of perception.

Your stages may be smaller but no less important. You can face your own
Olympic challenges, including market fluctuations, client departures, communication systems changing, and your own “sell by…date.” That’s why we watch the Olympics---to absorb positive, inspiring models of grit and determination featuring the world’s best.

To fight your own battles of perception, keep steadfast in your messaging, but make sure it’s truthful and persuasive. If you need to do something dramatic to prove your point, do it. And follow the Olympic athletes’ lead. Set an Intention, ignore outside noise, and speak out with commitment. If the perception of you is still wobbly, get out your wet suit.

OLYMPICS SPECIAL!
(Adapted from ENTRY POINT in Prepare: Structure and Rehearse Your Content)
Background stories of Olympic athletes are one of NBC’s most popular items. The stories delve into the athletes’ motivation, history, and challenges. Without this entry point, the athletes are rather amorphous; their faces are often obscured by helmets and goggles. But once we know a bit about them and their families’ sacrifice, we cheer them on, hail their success, or empathize with their loss. Each audience member needs an entry point into your speech, presentation, or pitch. This is precisely why you don’t want to copy the norm and thank your audience or sponsors, deliver a pointless joke, or read an agenda slide. Instead, you want the audience to relate to you and be convinced that your content is important.

Review: WITCHLAND at Revolution Stage Company Producing innovative, provocative work is part of the Revolution Stage Company’s DNA, so it is not surprising they chose Witchland for their first new production of 2024.

Highpoint Lit is pleased to announce today’s publication of Witchland: The Graphic Novel (100 pages 979-8-9879203-9-8 | paperback; 979-8-9897773-3-4 | hardcover case laminate). This book adaptation of Author Tim Mulligan's critically acclaimed play is based on the author's experiences growing up in Richland Washington, "the most toxic place in the Western Hemisphere,” near the infamous Hanford Nuclear Plant, which in the 1940s and 1950s released significant amounts of radioactive materials into the nearby environment, leading to higher rates of cancer in the surrounding area. This is the story of a family who moves to this town and the unexplained terror that surrounds them. Is it owed to the nuclear plant...or something more sinister?

Witchland: The Graphic Novel ships on February 15. You can pre-order now.
