Are you keeping up your "match fitness"?

One of my clients has been on a self-imposed writing sabbatical. She recently got back into giving a presentation, and confessed that she was lacking "match fitness". In other words, despite being an experienced presenter, the lack of practice surprised her, and she wasn't as fluent as elegant as usual.

Are you in the same boat? If you're not presenting regularly - by choice or otherwise - what are you doing to keep up your match fitness? Here are some ways to ensure you keep in practice, while delivering value as well:

• Phone a regular client and offer to do a complimentary presentation for them.
• Phone a long-list client and offer the same.
• Create a presentation topic different from your main topic (so you don't harm that topic), and offer a community presentation free of charge.
• Run a public webinar - which you can do at any time, at no cost.
• Run a public seminar and invite a group of friends who would benefit from your message.

Whatever you do, stay match fit - and keep spreading your message.
