Another skill that at some point or another we all come to realise is an edge that can and probably should be honed to really help us reach our maximum potential. We all retain and process information in similar ways, yet our methods for recalling and using that information (especially when speaking publicly!) are often varied and unorthodox. So how do we know whats best for us as individuals?

This is rather on the nose, but it’s Practice!

Trying these things out is the best way to really get to understand what works and what doesn’t, as well as keeping yourself ‘match ready’ for eventualities that may never come. You may never need to read from a teleprompter, but it could happen at a moments notice and if you’ve practiced your technique, even just briefly, you’ll be much better off should it happen. Something you can always be certain about is uncertainty.

So whats stopping you? Time? Energy? Motivation? At worst, you’ve spent some time working on a skill you don’t yet need. At best, you're equipped with something that could save you at a moments notice.

If this all seems unrealistic, Luke and Charlotte are here this week precisely to debunk those thoughts. Having made Careers undoubtedly helped by practicing (and sometimes not!) they share their experience with practice and preparedness as well as keeping your eye on the prize in the moment.

So, have a listen, perhaps make some notes and once its over go and practice!
