Episode notes
Rehearse High-Stakes Events
- Do a trial run for anything high stakes so you can spot problems ahead of time.
- Rehearse in the actual space or with the actual gear to fix issues before the event.
Theater Rehearsal Example
- Laura draws on theater rehearsals to show why dress rehearsals matter.
- Practicing on stage with costume, lights, and sound reveals execution issues you won't see in a dress rehearsal at home.
Practice In The Presentation Venue
- Run through presentations in the actual venue at least once before the real talk.
- Check sightlines, monitor placement, and font sizes so your slides work for the whole audience.
