Hiya, Maggie...

 

Well done on rising to such a challenge. It's not easy to stand up in front of a room of people on any ordinary day, but at the drop of a hat with nothing prepared? Oh, my word... well done, girl! Even better is the fact that you've recognized a weak spot within yourself when representing your business. Way to lead, Maggie. Way. To. Lead.

 

I do running commentaries when I'm working in my workshop making the products. I just talk to the room like it's full of people, giving a blow by blow account of what I'm doing. I talk ingredients, I talk about when my business first started, I talk about my products, I just talk talk talk... to the empty room. When you do this day after day after day, it becomes you... and talking to a full room at the drop of a hat becomes something you just take in your stride. After all... it's what you're doing every day.

 

Hope this helps.

That's a great idea!  I also made a list of bullet points that I posted in my office so I could subconsciously memorize key points.  Now I'm looking forward to trying it out somewhere.

Love your tip Susan.  I am going to try that out.  I do have a small elevator pitch, but it is always good to work and practice it out.
