Yes.

And right.

Radical acceptance of reality.

Here's the moment.

What am I going to do next?

How am I going to move this forward?

So when I have mispronounced something or if I was you and Will.i.am was doing this, I probably wouldn't have been able to resist stopping and going, Will.i.am is giving me one of these.

So I'm either killing it like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer or whatever.

I probably would have taken that moment and made something of it, if only to diffuse my own distraction, right?

And so there's lots of different strategies that are personality dependent for some people.

It's using humor for others.

It's having a reset strategy to be able to put that away and out of mind, move on to the next.

But those improv principles are critical in those moments.

The thing that Jennifer Lawrence does beautifully and any of us can model is when those moments inevitably occur, rather than avoidance, she's quick to ownership.

So this is what we mean by embracing an awkward moment.

So again, they're not avoidable.

What we can work on is our comeback rate.

And Jennifer Lawrence has a beautiful ability to have a fast and intentional comeback rate.

So when she tripped on her dress at the Oscars, it was right as she was walking up the steps about to accept her award.

We all saw it.
