You've got that video that you did numerous times, now you're happy with it. Let's take some baby steps here. I want you to send it to just one friend or two friends or colleagues. Send it to them. Ask them to watch it. Here's the thing, though.

Don't just call them up or email them and say, What did you think? They're your friends? They're your colleagues. They're gonna say, Oh, you did a great job. Very professional, nice presentation. Guess what?

That advice is completely worthless. What you want to ask them after they've watched it, is what do you remember? What ideas to remember what messages Do you remember if you had any visuals, whether props, PowerPoint slides, ask them what slides they remembered. If they remembered your slides and they remembered your messages, that means you're successful. Congratulations, you did a great job. If they just do Are you well, everything was smooth professional, you really came across Well, it means you completely failed.

You didn't actually get them to remember any of your ideas. So do this if they understand and remember your messages. That's great. Now you know you've got a great presentation. If they're not getting it, I need you to go back to the drawing board. recraft your speech, rerecord it, send it to them or send it to a couple of other people and tell they can throw back in your face.

What you want to hear. Not that your silver tongue did a great orator. You want to hear them tell you the exact messages you planned in advance. That's what you want.
