Monday Minute: Shoes

It is time for your Fearless Monday Minute. In the realm of preparation for public speaking, it is useful in the practice to consider and eliminate as many variables as possible. They are the things that you can control. And they’re the things that you can’t control. And you want to be prepared. So when the things you can’t control show up, you’re able to dance and be present with them. And one thing that people don’t consider in their preparation is the shoes that they’re going to be wearing while they’re speaking. And I say that because how we find ourselves grounded and connected to our body and our breath will depend on what it is that is holding and supporting our feet in our delivery. So one thing that you can think about in your preparation specifically as you’re landing on a final run through or the day itself, is to practice in the shoes that you will be wearing.
