Reality versus Illusion

I did a presentation yesterday where I felt I did not cover all my objectives and perform to my potential. Not the best feeling for an inspirational speaker who talks about unleashing your potential. Therefore, today I decided to analyze what actually happened.

As I reflected on what I covered, I was pleasantly surprised that most of the objectives were actually met. Also, we had few unexpected interruptions at the session which were beyond my control which did not help with the flow. Nonetheless, I had to keep my focus and be positive despite the distractions the client must have experienced.

There is always room for improvement even when you have performed at your peak. Regular reflection on your performance is a useful exercise. My lesson from this event was that it is important to separate reality from illusion if you really want to go the next level.
