Write about a time when you had an unexpected learning experience. What happened? What did you learn?

When entering the double doors of the dojo you have no idea what you will be doing for this test until you actually do it. You just have to go with the flow and use the skills that you have learned over the years and years of training. That was the feeling I had when going for my first degree brown belt. I knew how these test work you start with basics which was the most easiest part of the test. Then there is the kata which is the combination of basics in a set. The last part of the test is ring fighting. This is where you have to fight three people in a row and the match won’t end until you can score the point on the other person.

The last part of the test was ring fighting and I was already fading. I Had a little bit until my match. I caught my breath and drank some water it was not enough to get me through. My match came and felt almost there but, not back to full strength. The match came I fought with what I learned over the years and my opponent had done the same. After the first minute of the fight all of a sudden boom a shot to head. The next thing I knew I was seeing stars. One of the sensei’s there was paramedic and knew what to do.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
