Have you tried talking to yourself lately?
One of the reasons people find coaching so helpful is that it gives them an opportunity to rehearse ideas with a neutral person. We often don’t know what we think until we say it loud.
Sometimes we have an idea that we’re not actually ready for the world to hear because we haven’t heard it made real.
Mirror, Mirror
If you find yourself in this position, try this. Stand in front of your mirror and pitch the idea to yourself!
Think about it as your literal reflection time!
Who helps you bring ideas to fruition?

Hi Jane
This is really a very good suggestion. If anyone was asked to speak in public I am sure that they would want to practice out loud and possibly in front of a mirror. (Something I recommend when training people to speak in public)
A sales pitch, job interview, or any other area where we need to present a practice session would be a great thing to do.
A good post Jane, thank you.
