So, Monica, 244 00:09:18,980 --> 00:09:21,500 I mentioned that you had done our Thought 245 00:09:21,540 --> 00:09:23,940 Leader Academy online a few years ago, 246 00:09:24,220 --> 00:09:27,060 and we generally do that process with the 247 00:09:27,060 --> 00:09:31,180 board in a one on one VIP day where either 248 00:09:31,180 --> 00:09:33,380 myself or Diane, we're asking you questions, 249 00:09:33,380 --> 00:09:34,860 and then we write on all the post-it notes, 250 00:09:34,860 --> 00:09:37,580 and then we lay it all out in that three hour 251 00:09:37,580 --> 00:09:39,940 time that we're together.

I when I've gone to improv shows, 456 00:17:13,930 --> 00:17:16,210 I'm kind of like, I'm not sure I get it, 457 00:17:16,530 --> 00:17:18,090 but when you're actually doing it, 458 00:17:18,090 --> 00:17:19,290 it is a lot of fun. 459 00:17:19,650 --> 00:17:21,130 And so the reason that, 460 00:17:21,170 --> 00:17:22,730 and for those of you watching and listening, 461 00:17:22,730 --> 00:17:24,770 the reason we do improv again is to remind us 462 00:17:24,770 --> 00:17:26,370 that we have bodies. Because as high 463 00:17:26,370 --> 00:17:27,730 achieving women especially, 464 00:17:27,770 --> 00:17:29,970 we spend so much time in our heads 465 00:17:30,130 --> 00:17:32,770 overthinking, thinking about what is the 466 00:17:32,770 --> 00:17:34,930 exact right word that I'm going to say next. 467 00:17:34,930 --> 00:17:36,170 Or I want to make sure that, 468 00:17:36,210 --> 00:17:38,090 you know, whatever I'm saying is perfectly 469 00:17:38,090 --> 00:17:39,530 scripted. And of course, 470 00:17:39,570 --> 00:17:42,250 improv is the opposite of that. 471 00:17:42,250 --> 00:17:44,370 So I deliberately designed the workshop for 472 00:17:44,370 --> 00:17:46,050 everyone to do the improv first, 473 00:17:46,050 --> 00:17:49,050 and then come up and do their five minute 474 00:17:49,170 --> 00:17:50,290 segment of their talk. 475 00:17:50,290 --> 00:17:51,490 So. And how did that feel? 476 00:17:51,530 --> 00:17:55,410 Did did you feel less less nervous coming up 477 00:17:55,410 --> 00:17:57,450 to do the five minutes after that? 478 00:17:58,610 --> 00:18:01,890 Yes. I think that both the improv exercises 479 00:18:01,890 --> 00:18:04,170 and then the, the, the whole day that, 480 00:18:04,250 --> 00:18:06,130 you know, we kind of had built some rapport 481 00:18:06,130 --> 00:18:09,810 together. And so we we had a comfort level to 482 00:18:09,850 --> 00:18:11,170 try out something new, 483 00:18:11,410 --> 00:18:13,410 you know, and I did share a story that I had 484 00:18:13,410 --> 00:18:15,330 never told out loud before. 485 00:18:16,130 --> 00:18:19,970 Um, and I know a lot of people did that. 486 00:18:20,210 --> 00:18:22,450 Um, so the both of those things made it very 487 00:18:22,450 --> 00:18:25,570 comfortable of a container to be able to, 488 00:18:25,610 --> 00:18:27,130 to test some things out, 489 00:18:27,130 --> 00:18:28,930 which I think was really powerful. 490 00:18:29,050 --> 00:18:30,690 And then the other thing that was great about 491 00:18:30,690 --> 00:18:33,850 having that like five minutes live is that 492 00:18:33,850 --> 00:18:35,970 you were giving us feedback. 493 00:18:36,290 --> 00:18:38,610 And again, we already felt comfortable to get 494 00:18:38,650 --> 00:18:40,610 we knew that you loved us and you wanted the 495 00:18:40,610 --> 00:18:42,330 best for us. So when you were saying, I mean, 496 00:18:42,370 --> 00:18:43,810 immediately right off the bat, 497 00:18:43,810 --> 00:18:46,290 I had been talking for like half a minute and 498 00:18:46,290 --> 00:18:48,050 y'all. And Carol was like, stop, 499 00:18:48,210 --> 00:18:49,370 You're swaying. 500 00:18:49,650 --> 00:18:51,090 And she had already given a lot of people 501 00:18:51,090 --> 00:18:52,890 feedback about, like, weird movements. 502 00:18:52,890 --> 00:18:55,130 So, like, I wasn't taken off guard by that. 503 00:18:55,130 --> 00:18:56,250 And it was really helpful, 504 00:18:56,250 --> 00:18:58,210 right? Instead of just, like, keep swaying 505 00:18:58,210 --> 00:18:59,850 through the whole talk. And then she told me 506 00:18:59,850 --> 00:19:02,130 at the end. So I did also think that was 507 00:19:02,130 --> 00:19:03,290 really, really helpful. 508 00:19:04,010 --> 00:19:06,310 Yes. And we and the reason we do the five 509 00:19:06,310 --> 00:19:08,290 minutes is to give you enough time to kind of 510 00:19:08,330 --> 00:19:09,890 spin out your story or what have you, 511 00:19:09,890 --> 00:19:12,450 but so that we can notice the things that you 512 00:19:12,490 --> 00:19:14,610 don't know necessarily that you're doing. 513 00:19:14,610 --> 00:19:16,450 And we all do those things, 514 00:19:16,450 --> 00:19:18,330 which is why I always recommend recording 515 00:19:18,330 --> 00:19:20,210 yourself on video when you do speaking 516 00:19:20,210 --> 00:19:23,130 engagements, because either sometimes people 517 00:19:23,130 --> 00:19:25,170 sway or they kind of move their feet, 518 00:19:25,170 --> 00:19:27,450 but not, but they kind of move it in a way 519 00:19:27,450 --> 00:19:28,570 where it's not helpful. 520 00:19:28,610 --> 00:19:30,210 Right? It's like kind of distracting to the 521 00:19:30,210 --> 00:19:33,170 audience or like people play with their hair 522 00:19:33,250 --> 00:19:34,730 quite a bit and they don't even realize that 523 00:19:34,730 --> 00:19:36,290 they're doing that. So just little things 524 00:19:36,290 --> 00:19:37,930 like that that are subconscious, 525 00:19:38,410 --> 00:19:40,690 and we want you to feel more comfortable on 526 00:19:40,690 --> 00:19:43,170 stage and own the stage and use it to your 527 00:19:43,170 --> 00:19:45,330 advantage so that you're making a bigger 528 00:19:45,330 --> 00:19:47,170 impact on your audience. 529 00:19:47,450 --> 00:19:50,810 Now, Lesley-ann, I know that you had 530 00:19:50,810 --> 00:19:53,570 mentioned in you had done a vlog on your 531 00:19:53,570 --> 00:19:56,370 YouTube channel as you were preparing to come 532 00:19:56,370 --> 00:19:58,530 to the workshop, which was so fun to watch 533 00:19:58,530 --> 00:19:59,690 that as well. 534 00:19:59,690 --> 00:20:01,610 And then you said at some point that and I 535 00:20:01,610 --> 00:20:03,010 can relate to this a lot, 536 00:20:03,050 --> 00:20:05,210 that like getting feedback in the moment can 537 00:20:05,250 --> 00:20:07,930 sometimes feel hard, like, 538 00:20:07,970 --> 00:20:10,850 you know, so but share a little bit about 539 00:20:10,850 --> 00:20:12,850 what it felt like to get that feedback and, 540 00:20:12,850 --> 00:20:14,530 and what you learned from it. 541 00:20:15,090 --> 00:20:16,290 Yeah.
