	Practice, Rehearsal, Drill – Gets Results! Practice makes perfect. We’ve all heard this old saying, but how true it is. Testimonies to this theory are international stars Barbra Streisand and Michael Jordan. A couple of years ago when Barbra Streisand was in Melbourne on a concert tour for her big concert event I discovered that she spent 3 hours in the blazing hot Melbourne summer sun rehearsing her whole concert – from beginning to end. Could the reason that she’s so good be because she always rehearses, always practises her performance? Many people think that Streisand’s reached the top based on natural ability and that she doesn’t need to rehearse. But this is not the case. What makes perfection is the fact that she does the preparation and the preparation is the rehearsal. She replicates a perfect performance from perfect practice. In an audio book called Rebound, The Odyssey of Michael Jordan by Bob Green, the author tells a story about Jordan arriving in town for a big match. Whilst all of the other team members were out being interviewed by the media, strutting their stuff and showing off, Jordan was spotted in his tracksuit, down on the basketball court, practising… throwing a ball by himself. Perfect practice makes perfect play. What is common about Streisand and Jordan who are both at the top of the tree? Practice, rehearsal and drill. By the time they’re ready to perform they’ve practiced, rehearsed and drilled it so well that perfection is bound to follow. What’s the lesson for us? Simple: If we want to get good, we’ve got to practise. And practice means doing it and doing it again and again and again in private before you do it in public. Practicing involves: Role-playing, rehearsing with your team members, with your family, before you ever try it on a customer, client or patient. Often many people have great words to say, but the first time they use them is when they meet a prospect, customer, client or patient. They then have to concentrate on remembering what it was they were supposed to say and they appear stilted as the words do not flow freely. Competence comes from confidence, and confidence comes from practice. Find the time to practice what you need to say to people so that you can say it confidently, without thinking, so that people believe you. It all comes from practice, rehearsal and drill. Take a leaf out of Streisand’s and Jordan’s book - put in the practice and that way you’ll be a hit in the big league! *****Stop Press!*****Stop Press!*****Stop Press!***** If you’d like to have the gift of the gab so that when you open your mouth the right words come out--- coolly, competently and confidently--- then you must get Winston’s most asked for audio mini lesson.
