Again, Again, Again
Dear-Reader are you scared to get things wrong?
In the past, I have been so scared to get things wrong or make the wrong decision, that I have done nothing just so I wouldn't be wrong.
I am happy to be on stage in front of hundreds or thousands of people and stuff up. I have even completely stuffed up a song in my choir during a performance and been ok with it, but one on one I hate getting things wrong or doing the wrong thing.
As part of my continual professional development, I am doing some Improv training. The first thing they teach you is to celebrate your mistakes. There is no "wrong" and part of what slows you down is looking for the RIGHT thing. Our standard approach is that if you get stuck, stuff something up or just don't know what to do, you wave your hands in the air and shout, "Again, again, again."
How great would that be in real life? Imagine if during a negotiation, part way through a deep and meaningful conversation with a loved one or simply talking with a client, whenever what you said came out wrong or you weren't how the next bit should go or they reacted unexpectedly to what you were saying you could just say, "Again, Again, Again."
Next time you are scared to get things wrong, always remember you can say to yourself "Again, again, again."
PS Want to see me get it wrong on stage?
My choir Mood Swing is performing this Sunday in North Melbourne at 2pm.

With over 20 songs there will be plenty of opportunity for me to get words, dancing, commentaries and so much more WRONG!
