My friend, Bob Souer recently attended a workshop in New York with Marice Tobias, and conveys a signficant process which occured during his experience while there on Bob’s blog.
During the workout session, while various participants were up at the mic, Bob said he listened intently to the coaching and directions beng given, keeping his mind off himself.
LISTENING!
Bob went on to say:
“So, when it was finally my turn to read, I just took a deep breath and read the copy. No nerves. No fear. Just a clean take in which I hit every point that I hoped to and none I didn’t. I realized afterward that I was able to just be in the moment, and thus not derail myself.

I hope that when find yourself filled with anxiety, hoping to really impress someone, that you’ll be able to find a few moments to get your focus off of yourself so that you too will be able to stay in the moment.”
Thank you for sharing this educational moment with us, Bob.
