My Real-Life Write-up: Before giving a public presentation to a large group.
​
“I was completely prepared. I was enthused as I drove. There was little to no traffic. I found a close parking place. When I walked into the room, I felt confident. As I spoke, my audience leaned in, excited and eager to hear what I had to say. They nodded their heads and smiled while I spoke. What I said resonated with them. My technology worked flawlessly. I was comfortable and energized. Afterward, people came up to me with compliments, comments, and engaging questions. The organizer was pleased. As I drove home, I felt great.”
​
My presentation turned out to be a wonderful experience for me. It all came true just as I wrote it. Friends and clients have had great success with this simple process. You can too.
