Podcasts about rehearse

Being interviewed by the media can be a high risk affair, depending on the publication, the journalist and the business zeitgeist of the moment.  These types of interviews come up relatively rarely in business.  More common are panel discussions at business events hosted by Chambers of Commerce and more recently interviews on podcasts.  I have been on both sides of the microphone, so let me share some observations which may help you prepare for your interview. Chamber panels and podcasts are usually not “gotcha” interviews, as we will encounter with some journalists doing media interviews.  Generally, we are going to be treated well and it would be rare that the interviewer really went after you.  Having said that though, we have to expect the interviewer to want to dig down deeper into something you have said.  This can be of two basic varieties.  One is a high level statement you made where the context and detail is obvious to the speaker.  This may not be obvious to the audience though, so the interviewer will seek more detail and clarification.  In this case, that is not a problem, because we have the depth of mastery of the subject.  The other variety is a statement that may be accepted wisdom or it might be something we have said without giving too much thought to it.  This is when we will get into trouble, because as soon as the interviewer starts to dig in, it becomes plainly obvious we don't know all that much about it and out pours fluff instead of substance. The answer here is to talk about things you have experienced, read about in detail, have researched deeply or where you have listened to experts.  This sounds obvious, however we don't know where we will go with the questions and we can be drawn to stray into areas where our intellectual coverage is pretty thin.  There is nothing wrong with honesty.  Just say, “I don't have much to say on that subject because I am not an expert in that area. However something I do feel passionate about is…”. Don't just end it with telling the audience you don't know much, because we are starting to damage our personal brand. Avoid leaving the conversation hanging in the air with us having admitted we are babbling on about stuff we don't know too much about. Immediately segue into an area where we are knowledgeable and talk about that. Always seek the questions in advance.  With media people they will do that, but often they have a couple of silent assassins ready which they will hit you with unexpectedly, to throw you off balance, to gain their “scoop”.  Business panels and podcasts are usually not like that.  Generally, for panels, they will let you know, in general terms, what is the broad discussion they are looking for.  In the case of a panel, it is unpredictable where the conversation will move, but at least there are broad rails bounding the subject matter.  Again, it always better to say you don't know, than trying to snow the organisers or the audience.  Instead make a comment about some aspect you do know well and preserve your expert status. For podcasts, you should expect they will have a set list of questions and you should get those in advance.  If the interviewer says something like “I let the muse guide me”, then I wouldn't recommend joining that podcast, unless you are massively confident about the subject matter.  Generally, there will be prior episodes, so you can get a sense of whether you are in the presence of real genius or a total nutter.  Often there will be a pre-meeting, to go through the episode theme and for them to get a sense of what sort of a guest you will be.  You can also get a sense of who they are too. Prepare for the questions, but understand you won't be able to read from notes.  The pace will move too fast for that.  You can glance at your notes, so it is better to have them arranged for easy reference, if you indeed need to do that.  Just having mentally calibrated the questions is usually enough.  Remember you are there because you know about the subject, so it will be easy for you to speak about it. That is often the real problem.  We do know a lot about the subject and we talk for too long and say too much.  Media interviews are an area where the more concise you are the safer it is.  Panel discussion hosts don't like guests who want to hog the limelight, so they will unceremoniously cut you off, effectively signalling to the audience that you lack self-awareness. Podcast hosts may just edit the hell out of you.  There is a balance, but being concise comes across a lot better than rambling.  If what you say is a bit too circumspect, the interviewer will draw you out further.  If you hear yourself talking too much, then you probably are, so you need to conclude your remarks on that point and stop. Rehearse your remarks based on the questions.  Remember these are public occasions and just as you would rehearse for a public speech, you need to do the same for the interview.  This will help you to trim the fluff from your answers and polish them into succinct, clever responses which will shine a positive light on you.  This is just as much your personal brand as giving a keynote speech.  Your fellow panelists or rivals on other podcasts, won't take this step. Think of these occasions in this way and you will definitely come across as a star.

I'm on a Zoom call with one of my private clients. She is a powerhouse executive and is preparing for a TED-style keynote. Her ideas are solid, and her story is incredible; it's emotional, has high stakes and everything you would want in an opening story. And the rest of her Talk? That's epic as well. Plus, she's done the work and is ready to go.  We start rehearsing and everything… falls flat. Her delivery is kind of robotic, and there's no energy in her voice. Even the transitions between her story and her insights kind of feel like speed bumps. She is reciting her script but isn't truly owning her message, and I can see it in her face - she's frustrated. She feels the pressure, and the doubt starts creeping in. I stop her right in the middle of the rehearsal and say, “All right, let's forget the script. Instead, just tell me your story and share your Talk with me as if we're at dinner.” So she starts over, and everything changes. Even her body shifts and changes. Her words flow, and her transitions feel human. Instead of presenting, she's now actually connecting with me. That's the difference between reciting a Talk and owning every single moment of it.  In this episode of the Storytelling School Podcast, I discuss how truly effective rehearsing isn't about memorizing a script, why emotionally and physically integrating your message can truly connect you to your audience, and so much more. You'll get answers to questions like: What makes presence so much more important than perfection? How does mental rehearsal increase confidence and clarity? How can you rehearse in a way that helps your audience feel that you're speaking with them instead of at them? What you will learn in this episode: Why rehearsing effectively means integrating your message and not just memorizing your words How to strengthen your emotional connection to prevent your Talk from falling flat Why it's essential to rehearse your full Talk and not just your story to create maximum impact A little about me: Hi there. I'm Kymberlee. As a Speaking Strategist and founder of Storytelling School, I've had the pleasure of working with over 500 speakers, business leaders, and entrepreneurs worldwide for over a decade. No matter if those folks were getting ready to take the TED or TEDx stage or preparing for a high-stakes presentation with everything on the line, my specialty is High Stakes Short Form Communication. I've seen what works when influencing change and what doesn't. It turns out storytelling is one of the most powerful tools you can have in your arsenal. That's why I'm building a movement of master storytellers to affect change in the world on a global scale to help people tell real stories that have influence and impact. With effective storytelling, you change people's lives. Since competition for potential client attention is fierce, a story can make the difference between being memorable or irrelevant. You'll find me sharing my matcha tea mishap to discuss perfectionism, my quest for Bruce Lee and Hello Kitty art to explore kindness, or, as I discuss in this episode, the six months of live blade training I underwent to illustrate presence. I spend my days showing the power of using stories to help cement ideas and bring lessons to life and teach my clients to do the same. If you think business owners can't tell stories or don't have stories to share with their clients, staff, donors, followers, or investors, I invite you to reconsider your perspective. There's no better place than in business to tell your stories so audiences, no matter how big or small, can understand how you think and what you value. Now it's your turn... If you're ready to become a master storyteller and effect change in our world, you've come to the right place.

In this episode, I dive deep into one of the most important and misunderstood parts of an actor's journey: confidence. Without confidence, you're benched. Without humility, you're a liability. Confidence is essential in the entertainment industry, but it has to be real—not performative, not overblown, and definitely not hubris. I break down how to build real, grounded confidence that will keep you moving forward in your voiceover or acting career, using neuroscience-backed tools and personal experience from over two decades in the industry. Key Topics Covered: Why confidence is essential, and why too much of it (aka hubris) can end your career The underrated power of self-awareness and how to cultivate it "Talent blindness" and why some actors can't see where they're falling short Real talk on imposter syndrome and how it rewires your brain The difference between self-trust and self-delusion Three Neuroscience-Backed Tips to Build Confidence: Focus on Small Wins Create a "brag file" with positive feedback, wins, compliments, and proud moments Celebrate progress, not perfection, and let your brain build new confidence loops Use Visualization Imagine your future success in vivid detail to activate the same brain networks as real achievement Rehearse emotionally grounded wins before you step up to the mic or camera Interrupt the Cortisol Cycle Practice intentional breathing to calm your nervous system and stay present Use 4-4-6 breath work to reset stress levels before auditions or sessions 7-Day Confidence Challenge (Free Prompt Series): Day 1: Write down 5 wins or moments you felt proud as an actor Day 2: Visualize a successful performance, using all five senses Day 3: Record and review a short piece of work Day 4: Practice calming breath work for 2 minutes Day 5: Take a risk with your craft (bold choice, new tone, character) Day 6: Write and say 3 affirmations aloud Day 7: Journal your growth and what you noticed about trusting yourself Final Takeaway: Confidence is not just mindset. It's a habit. A neurological pattern. A cycle of self-trust, built one decision at a time. If you're struggling with imposter syndrome or feel like your confidence disappears when it matters most, you're not alone—and you're not broken. Try the challenge. Start small. And keep going.

Mid-Year Reset: Strategies to Transform Your Life in Six Months To create your best six months ever, it is essential to start by defining what "best" means for you personally.

Tonya reflects on the halfway point of 2025 and encourages listeners to evaluate their feelings about the year so far. She shares her personal experience of needing a reset after feeling off track and discusses the importance of shifting one's perspective to create the best next six months.   Tune in for insights on becoming more of your authentic self and setting the stage for an empowered second half of the year.

Pastor JT continues through the one True story from Genesis 12 and 15. Here we see the promise of the Kingdom reestablished through the Abrahamic covenant.

Pastor JT continues through the storyline of Scripture in Genesis 3. The Kingdom is lost when Adam and Eve chose rebellion over trust. The people of God are exiled from His presence, now under depravity and death. We groan as we wait with the promise of the king and his kingdom.

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley have a conversation about the meaning, significance, and different views of Baptism and the Lord's Supper.Questions Covered in This Episode:Why have baptism and the Lord's Supper been so contentious historically?What is the best argument for believers' baptism?What is the best argument for infant baptism?What are the dangers of not fully understanding each of these positions?What about churches that acknowledge both positions of baptism?What is baptism?How does the Lord's Supper connect to baptism in a way that is complimentary but distinct?What formative value does the Lord's Supper have in the weekly gathering?What is happening at the Lord's supper? What are the different views?Helpful Definitions: Baptism: "baptizo" (βαπτίζω): to immerse, submerge, or plungeTransubstantiation (Catholicism): The elements convert into the physical body and blood of Christ.Consubstantiation (Lutheranism): The substances both of the body and blood of Christ and of the bread and the wine coexist in union with each other.Spiritual Presence (Reformed): Christ is spiritually present in the elements.Memorial (Anabaptist): The elements are purely symbolic.Resources Mentioned in this Episode:Acts 2, Romans 6, Matthew 5:6, 1 Corinthians 11:17-34“Remember and Rehearse” by JT EnglishRememberandRehearse.com“Formed for Fellowship” by Kyle WorleyFormedforFellowship.com“You are a Theologian” by Jen Wilkin and JT EnglishDeep Discipleship Program Follow Us:Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | WebsiteOur Sister Podcasts:The Family Discipleship Podcast | Tiny TheologiansSupport Training the Church and Become a Patron:patreon.com/trainingthechurchYou can now receive your first seminary class for FREE from Midwestern Seminary after completing Lifeway's Deep Discipleship curriculum, featuring JT, Jen and Kyle.

 Reading consists of two phases: consumption and digestion.To retain and use knowledge, you must properly digest what you consume.Memorizing everything you read shouldn't be the goal—understanding should.We remember the essence of a book so we can apply, analyze, evaluate, and even create something new.Not all information is equal.Poor learning methods make remembering:HarderMore time-consumingLess effectiveThe PACER Method: Categorize & Digest InformationWe process information into 5 categories (PACER) to store it in long-term memory.Our memory operates in three layers:Sensory memory (fleeting impressions) → Forgotten quickly.Short-term memory (words, names, numbers) → Limited storage.Long-term memory (concepts, meaning) → Retained through understanding.1. P – Procedural InformationWhat it is: Step-by-step instructions (e.g., coding, languages, photography).How to learn: Practice immediately.Learning without doing is pointless. Example: You can't learn photography just by reading—you must take photos.Key insight:90% of consumed info is forgotten.Digestion > Consumption. Focus on quality (deep processing) over quantity (mindless reading).2. A – Analogous InformationWhat it is: Knowledge connected to prior understanding (e.g., "leading lines" in landscape photography).How to learn: Critique & contextualize.Ask: When does this apply? When doesn't it?Example: "Leading lines" work for paths/streams but not for forests/lakes.Why it sticks: Your brain anchors new info to existing knowledge.3. C – Conceptual InformationWhat it is: Theories, facts, and systems (e.g., engineering principles).How to learn: Mapping (connecting ideas across domains).Example: An automation engineer studies medicine, satellites, and robotics to design an artificial heart.Key mindset:Beginners may feel overwhelmed, but expertise grows through applied learning.Always ask: How can I use this? Useless knowledge fades fast.4. E – Evidence InformationWhat it is: Proof that supports conceptual claims (e.g., accident reports validating traffic rules).How to learn: Store & rehearse.Store: Write it down (e.g., "Didn't stop at red light → collision").Rehearse: Ask:How do I apply this? (Stop at red lights.)What concept does this reinforce? (Traffic safety.)Why does this matter? (Prevent accidents.)5. R – Reference InformationWhat it is: Specific, unchanging details (e.g., mathematical constants, medical terms).How to learn: Store & drill.Store: Take notes.Rehearse: Use flashcards for recall.Key TakeawaysBalance consumption and digestion. Fewer concepts deeply understood > volumes skimmed.Not all knowledge is equal. Prioritize what's actionable.PACER organizes learning:Procedural → PracticeAnalogous → CritiqueConceptual → MapEvidence → Store & RehearseReference → DrillWhat stays in your brain matters more than what goes in.My Video:  How to Remember Everything You Read  https://youtu.be/LimAVySDrfQMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast4/How-to-Remember-Everything-You-Read.mp3

Annie-Rose Maloney has a simple ethos when it comes to writing a song: it must have a pulse, it must feel nice to sing, and it must bear a truthfulness about our human experiences. We talked about the mixed bag of emotions that come with releasing music, the decisions she's had to make to be uncompromising with her art and the nourishment that comes from growing her own food and sharing meals with her bandmates during rehearsals. The seven songs on Circle Walking are all tethered by being grounded in deep truth, and came out “a bit like an exhale - I almost always cried when I wrote them.” It was written over many years without any set intention, songs often blooming subconsciously from a seed of a lyric, or melody line - “I tended to let things reveal themselves to me. Like an archaeologist uncovering a hidden and delicate treasure.” Annie-Rose's recipe is a garden pie, which is packed full of any veggies you have around, in crispy filo pastry.You can find Annie-Rose Maloney's Garden Pie recipe on our website!Find us @whatartistseat on Instagram and our website www.whatartistseat.com.au Hosted on Acast.

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley continue their discussion on the core doctrines of the Christian faith by having a conversation about union with Christ.Questions Covered in This Episode:What is union with Christ? Why does it matter?Why do we have an unbalanced understanding of this? Why do we think more about Christ in me?How does the story of the prodigal son show us union with Christ?What is the difference between Union with Christ and communion with God?How is the story of union with Christ the story of “home with God”?Where do we find union with Christ in the Bible?When we say that Christ is in us, are we talking about the Holy Spirit?What are some of the benefits of salvation?How does union with Christ help us understand our reception of these benefits?How does being in Christ lead us to sanctification?Helpful Definitions:Union with Christ: Being united to Christ by grace through faith.

radiantvisalia.comWord & Deed: We are Witnesses: Forgiveness, Part Iwith Travis AicklenScripture: Matthew 6:9-15, Colossians 3:12-13, Romans 12, 2 Corinthians 5:19, Isaiah, Ephesians 4:31-32, Mark 11:25-26, Ephesians 4:26-27Intro: Jesus, in teaching the Lord's Prayer, emphasizes one key action: forgiveness. This sermon explores the misconceptions and realities of forgiveness, highlighting its importance in our lives and witness.Key Points:One Job: In the Lord's Prayer, forgiveness is the primary action Jesus calls us to. We are to pardon and release those who don't deserve it.Misconceptions of Forgiveness:It's not approving of the offense.It's not excusing the offense.It's not automatic reconciliation.It's not denying the offense.It's not forgetting the offense.It's not neglecting justice.Realities of Forgiveness:It's a release.It's stopping keeping score.It's refusing to punish.It's being merciful.It's from the heart.It's an absence of bitterness.It's an ongoing process.The Spite House: Holding onto unforgiveness traps us in a small, confined space, hindering our freedom and witness.The Cross: Jesus' sacrifice demonstrates the ultimate act of forgiveness, tearing down dividing walls.Conclusion:Forgiveness is a mandate, not an option, for Christians.Bitterness is the alternative to forgiveness.Forgiveness is a release, not a recoding.We must rehearse forgiveness as much as we rehearse the story of the hurt.Call to Action:Reflect on areas of unforgiveness in your life.Practice releasing those who have hurt you.Choose to stop keeping score.Rehearse forgiveness.Receive communion as a reminder of Christ's forgiveness.Participate in the forgiveness prayer offered.

Send me a Text Message!This episode is going to spend a few more moments with the sight-sign of Jesus. It's the sixth sign of seven and remember one amazing thing it reveals to us about Jesus; it points to the Jesus who has this amazing ability to see. Jesus sees the people we miss.  But there is something more in this sign...Jesus gives us the ability to see Him and see others with greater clarity. One thing I love about this story is our chance to see this once blind man come to see, truly see Jesus. In this episode, we'll see how the stories, the narratives we rehearse shape how we see; how we see others and how we see Jesus. What stories do you tell and what stories do you hear? What narratives do you rehearse about your life, about God, about Jesus? The narratives we rehearse shape how we see!

Do Nothing! If you are struggling with sleep and had a bad night of sleep, do not sleep in later, do not go to bed earlier, do not increase caffeine intake, do not compensate with a nap* 2. Time rescheduling/sleep restriction therapy: if you are spending too much time in bed, your brain is not efficient; it's like being in the gym for hours a day but spending most of the time scrolling on your phone – you're not really getting a good workout like if you know you only have 45 minutes to workout* 3. Don't underestimate the importance of a winddown routine: whatever you enjoy for relaxation, build it into your regimen to help you decelerate* 4. Do NOT count sheep, instead take yourself on a mental walk: counting sheep actually makes you stay awake longer; instead, get your mind off itself by going through a rudimentary walk with hyper-detail – imagine putting your shoes on, opening the door, crossing the street, imagine the signs you see, look at the flowers, etc.* 5. Remove …* Monophasic sleep: Single bout of sleep in 24 hour period* Biphasic sleep: Two bouts of sleep in 24 hour period* Polyphasic sleep: …​Napping* Naps are a Double-Edged Sword: If you struggle with sleep at night, do not nap during the day in order to build up sleepiness and hopefully sleep at night* ​Cons of Napping: Naps remove sleep pressure (adenosine) so if you struggle with sleep, you are setting yourself up for worse sleep because you've removed some of the sleepiness you need* ​Pros of Napping: If napping does not disrupt your sleep and leaves you feeling better, go ahead and nap but be cautious of napping too late which can disrupt sleep* ​Are Naps Right F…* ​Super Charged Nap: Swig espresso right before napping + nap 20 minutes + cold water to hands and face upon waking + immediate daylight 5-10 minutes outside​3 Ways Sleep is Essential for Learning:​* 1: We need sleep before learning to start the initial imprint and laying the tracks; sleep before learning is critical* 2: We also need sleep after learning to cement the information in our brain* 3: We need sleep to integrate the new information with previously learned information we have stored* ​Exactly How Much an All-Nighter Impacts Memory: Pulling an all-nighter leads to deficits of up to 40% in making new memories* …* Symptoms of REM Sleep Deprivation: Paranoia, hallucination, aspects of psychosis (with enough time)* Bad Sleep, And Then: When sleep deprived, you're excessively reactive and hypersensitive, particularly to reward-based activities – dopamine circuits are overactive when you are underslept* Sleep and Addiction: A lack of sleep is associated with addiction potential AND relapse if trying to abstain* REM Sleep Killers: Alcohol, THC* One Possible Mechanism for PTSD: The brain is trying to process the traumatic experience but fails, so the brain tries again the next night, and the next – until …Brain Features of REM:* (1) Electrical brain wave activity in the cortex is similar to that when you are awake;* (2) There are unique pulses from the brain stem ultimately to the occipital cortex (linked to rapid eye movements);* (3) Motor regions, visual regions, memory-related structures, and emotional-related structures of the brain all light up* (4) The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (responsible for inhibition and planning) activity is suppressed during REM* Functions of REM sleep: (1) Creativity; (2) Emotional & mental wellness – REM sleep is overnight therapy* …* (1) Consistently rehearse the notion that you will remember your dreams and you will take control of your dreams – if you do this enough, the probability you will induce lucid dreams is high* (2) Rehearse something (like flicking a light switch on and off) over and over; Then, when this appears in your dream you can take control* …Get the FULL NOTES Thank you for subscribing.

Read our book, The Score That Matters - https://amzn.to/4ggpYdW Full shownotes at www.LearningLeader.com The Learning Leader Show With Ryan Hawk We are celebrating episode #600 with Keith Hawk and AJ Hawk Tell a story about an awesome leader you worked with... Ron Ullery – I'm a firm believer that people either live up to or down to your expectations. And most people set their expectations for themselves too low. So it's on you as a leader to raise those expectations for them. Demand more because you know they can do more. Tyler Cowen – The high return activity of raising others' aspirations. Encouraged someone who was going for an MBA to get a Phd. At critical moments in time, you can raise the aspirations of other people significantly, especially when they are relatively young, simply by suggesting they do something better or more ambitious than what they might have in mind.  It costs you relatively little to do this, but the benefit to them, and to the broader world, may be enormous. What helps you give a great speech? How do you prepare? Ask, "What do I want my audience to do after seeing my speech?" Interview members of their team. Learn their terminology, challenges, what's going well, what's not, what are their goals, etc... Practice, practice, practice. Say it out loud. Rehearse so that once you're on stage, you can let it rip. What did the best teams you've been on do differently than the average teams?  The best players on the best teams always practiced the hardest. They set the tone for the work ethic of the team. They chose extra work. They set high standards and they demanded others raise their level of performance. The best teams hung out together outside of work. AJ was a Captain of the Green Bay Packers Super Bowl-winning team in 2010-2011... That team regularly hung out together outside of working hours, shared lots of meals, and knew each other extremely well. They trusted each other. Tell a story about how you've shown resilience… Failed and what did you do next? The Miami/Ben Roethlisberger story - The world doesn't care what you think you deserve. The primary goal is focused on adding value to others' lives. AJ shared a story from his sophomore year at Ohio State. His defensive coordinator, Coach Mark Dantonio sat with him 1 on 1 watching each play of the Michigan game. A day he'll never forget for how hard it was, how upset he was, and how determined he was to respond. AJ never lost to Michigan again in his career after that. Pistol shared a story about the time when the new CEO wanted to bring in his own head of sales (which was Pistol's job). Instead of complaining and leaving the company, he got creative and offered a new idea and a great way to leverage all the skills and knowledge he developed from being at the company for so long. It is amazingly rare for the head of sales to stay at a company after he's been replaced. But he thrived in the role and made the company better. Front line obsession – Pistol's story of the legendary Mert McGill going to the Supreme Court to demo LexisNexis and earning the most important sale in the company's history. I love stories about leaders proactively taking action and not being afraid to do the work. Update since Episode #500: Built the Learning Leader Team -- Officially working full-time with Sherri Coale, Brook Cupps, Geron Stokes, and Eli Leiker. We are working with leaders from a wide variety of companies throughout the U.S. The magic of the Pat McAfee Show -- They are unafraid. They say what others are thinking but are too afraid to say. They are authentic and fully themselves. They have great role clarity. Everyone knows and embraces their roles and excels at them. The End of the Podcast Draft – You're stranded on a deserted island.
