Secretly Audio Record Every Presentation You Ever Give

A lot of my students and clients around the world hear me say that I think they should video record every speech, every presentation, every talk, every sales pitch they do so they can watch it later, learn from it, figure out what works, what doesn't work. But invariably, someone will say, well, T.J. you know, I'm only talking to two people. It would seem really weird to bring in a camera crew or set up a camera or have someone hold holding my cell phone and doing this the whole time. I'm not comfortable doing that. It might weird people out. Well, here is the trick where no one has to know what you're doing. Anytime you're about to give a speech, a presentation, or talk. I don't care if it's to one person, 100, 1,000 or 10,000. If you can't video record it, then just open up your smartphone, go to an audio recording app. It's typically standard feature on most phones, and hit the memo, record the audio record, and just toss your phone down. The phone will go black. Nobody will have any idea you're doing it. This way, you can listen to your speech later to figure out what worked, what didn't work, and the real key is listen to it the same day. Now, I realize you're busy, but if you've given a presentation in a city and now you're flying back tonight, now you got something to listen to on your headset on the plane home. And you can make tiny adjustments. What you're listening for is not the ums or the mistakes. What you're listening for is what worked, what got a reaction from the audience. Where did you really enjoy it? That's the gold. And that's how you get yourself better a little bit every time you speak. I'm TJ Walker. Thanks for joining me.
