Lioness Magazine’s Post

A 2 1/2-hour musical has about 3 million notes. When Idina Menzel starred in Wicked, her goal was to hit 75% of them. Not 100%. And she is the freaking Tony-award-winning Queen of Broadway! Meanwhile, some of you are out there trying to hit 100% of the notes in every single podcast you do. You’re trying to be flawless, and you need to give that sh*t up. I say this with love. Perfectionism is an illusion, but content burnout is real. Do you need to give a good performance? Yes, because your podcast is a SHOW, after all. But do you need to nail it every time? No! In an interview with Southwest Magazine, Idina defined “success”: “Being a perfectionist, it took me a long time to realize that if I'm hitting 75% of [the notes], I'm succeeding. Performing isn't only about the acrobatics and the high notes: It's staying in the moment, connecting with the audience in an authentic way, and making yourself real to them through the music.” Please stop stressing yourself out. Please stop trying to give knock-your-socks-off perfect deliveries. Being yourself and being present are the greatest gifts you can give your audience. #BeYourOwnLoud #Podcasting #AdvisorMarketing

How to take the stress out of public speaking: Treat your life like a bougie restaurant. You've got a menu in front of you, AND the luxury of selecting what you want. Those items that stand out to you? Yummy. Those items you're unsure of? In consideration. Those items you don't want near you? Yuck. Apply this to the communication advice you receive. What gives you the instant "oooh" factor? Try it. What's giving the "meh" factor? Think about it. What's giving the "ick" factor? Move on. Not all advice is made the same. Not all of it will resonate. Just like a celebratory bougie date, You have the freedom to choose from the menu. Choose wisely.✌️ P.S.

Progress comes in many forms: If you read one page of a book that inspires an idea. If you play a chord almost perfect on a musical instrument. If you make a presentation using vocal variety and pauses. If you make a mistake and not give up until you fix it. If you give yourself credit for your work and pause to reflect. If you take a nature walk and hear birds chirp. If you attempt to network with someone by email after hearing them on a podcast. Progress is progress. When you take it one step at a time you'll reach the top of the stairs.
