Rehearsing and recording speeches is a great insight
Bill was a great instructor and left me with many things to think about. I always knew I needed to work on my presentation skills and those pesky filler words but doing the presentation with Bill, being recorded and then having him coach me on how to improve was really eye opening. After our session I went and rehearsed some more, recording myself, and while I did make some improvements I can now see how powerful this technique is. I plan to make recording rehearsals a regular part of my routine and while I can't promise I'll rehearse 8x I will at least do 3x, with recording and iterating as I go.
