Casual Articles - Public Speaking - Creating Confidence After You Really Screw Up
I remember some time back, say…about 15 years ago or so…I thought that a company has to be big in order for it to be efficient. Now, with the rapid growth of the Internet, things have changed. Now, a company need not be BIG, MASSIVE and employ THOUSANDS of people all over the world in order to be efficient and famous. Let’s look at it this way…first thing first, all com
Ah, but that first note! The very first one! To screw that up, ugh!
Even though I went on to sing a fun duet with Tom, even though I had sung well all night, I couldn't stop mulling over my previous mistake. Damn, that first note of "Skylark."
Now,
Registered nurse jobs are in exceptionally high demand and are a wonderful choice for people with the right skills. It is a profession which requires knowledge, precision, and carries heavy responsibility. Technological advances in medicine and pressure from insurance companies to avoid in-patient hospitalization has multiplied the registered nurse jobs. Registered nurs
Last week my husband and I went to hear my friend Tom play at a jazz club in Santa Rosa. Tom plays bass in my jazz trio, but this night he was playing bass with his own trio made up of a pianist and a drummer.
As we were sitting there, listening to the music, sipping Zinfandel and contemplating the menu, Tom called me up to sing a few tunes. An invitation to sing! My favorite thing. So, jumped up and sang a Cole Porter tune, which went very well. What fun!
The trouble started in the second set when Tom asked me to come up and sing again. Sure, you betcha! As the pianist launched into the tune, "Skylark," I couldn't really hear my first note from his introduction but I just opened my mouth and took a guess. A wrong guess. I started wrong, quickly found my way to the right pitch, and the rest of the song went beautifully.

Now,
What’s the real reason behind bankruptcy? Are easy credit cards to blame? Good enough, credit after bankruptcy can be rebuilt over again once a debtor receives his discharge. Yet, it could still take several years before one can get back decent interest-rates on a credit card, mortgage, or car loan, and debtor cannot spoil credit after bankruptcy – not this time. It cou

Now,
A last will or testament is a document that has vital information on the ratio at which a person wishes to distribute his property and possessions, after death. Last will and testament basically regulates the rights of others over the testator's property and family, after his death. Everyone, regardless of age, should prepare a will and register it, to protect their ass

Now, if you were me and that had happened to you, I would be squawking at you, saying, "One bad note? How many other notes did you sing perfectly? What about how much fun you had singing? What about how well you interpreted that song and all the others? And what about how quickly you recovered and went on to nail that tune? How come you're not focusing and replaying all of that?"
Yeah, how come?
Here's the deal. When you keep replaying your mistake and feeling badly about it, you are not helping yourself. In fact, you are actually increasing your chances of it, or something worse, happening again. Why? Because you are feeding it with your attention. You are reinforcing it in your experience. It's as if you are mentally practicing your mistake. You are also feeding your doubt, anxiety and fear, which are three monsters you don't want to feed.
Stop it!
Do this instead. After every public speaking experience, take a long inventory of all the things that went well, all the things you loved, all the things you want to do again.
