And what's at stake on that public speaking is really your identity, you know, the way that they think about you.

And I think it's one of the great fears for modern people is the fear of other people's opinions is like the greatest constrictor, as you and I have talked about before.

But when you're doing imagery, I think...

If I was to shape that for you, and that's the movie you're running, I would do an 85-15.

So 85% of the time, run that movie where you are 100% in control of seeing how it goes.

So the audience standing up and giving you all that adulation is not in your control.

So I would actually not have that be part of the imagery.

So interesting.

Put a pin in that for a minute, okay?

I would spend 85% of the time seeing yourself running this beautiful movie where you're walking onto the platform grounded and clear.

You put in your words.

Those are mine.

Grounded and clear and benevolently interested and curious, but also honoring there's things that I really want to share and I know.

But I'm also like a learner.

There's a unique broth that is unique to me that you need to know what it is for you.

So see yourself walking or entering into the room in a certain way.

And then seeing yourself stitch ideas together from slide one to two.

But it's about the feeling that you're looking for, not about their response.

So that's 85% of the time.

Okay.
