THE 30 DAY
CONFIDENT COMMUNICATION CHALLENGE
Alright everyone, welcome to Week 3! Today, we’re shifting gears to the exciting realm of Unscripted Speaking, starting with One-Word Story Starters to help you practice Thinking on Your Feet as a leader.
In the fast-paced world of leadership, you often need to articulate your thoughts and ideas spontaneously. This exercise is designed to build that agility and confidence in speaking without preparation.
For your one-minute video today, I want you to pick a random leadership-related word. This could be something like ‘innovation,’ ‘teamwork,’ ‘resilience,’ ‘vision,’ or ‘change.’ Once you have your word, speak for one minute about whatever comes to mind related to that word in a leadership context. Don’t worry about perfection; just let your thoughts flow freely.
After you’ve recorded your video, watch it back and notice your initial reactions to the word. What ideas came to you first? How did you structure your thoughts on the fly? Note down one interesting connection you made and one area where you felt you could have elaborated further. Let’s get those spontaneous leadership thoughts flowing!
