PERFECT PRACTICE MAKES
PERFECT PERFORMANCE
How it’s practice not talent alone that makes you great
It’s not always the talented that win, it’s the most practiced. Sometimes, even the underdog. Why? They are hungry and have something to prove; mostly to themselves. And not just any kind of practice, but practicing like you’re doing the actual performance, every time. Many of the people we look up to and that we want to model did not become great because they were naturally inclined. As a matter of fact, those who have mastered their art or trade will tell you that it was something that they practiced perfectly to the point where it appeared to their audience as natural. They have a system that they repeat over and over to yield their desired results and make what they do seem effortless. Brandi shares 5 things that great “performers” do to guarantee they have memorable performances and how you can apply it to your goals, career and life. Her talk is based on her documentary feature film Point and Drive.

Do you feel like you want to find the person who exercised child-like faith in terms of the fulfillment of their dreams? Do you find yourself thinking “I’m to old for change” or are you held hostage by “security” alone versus growth or purpose? Brandi will teach you how to stop living with regret, and instead reignite your inner drive by identifying and drawing from past wins to provide strength and fuel for your next phase in life. In this keynote, Brandi talks about how she used these very same techniques both personally and professionally to accomplish huge goals over the last two years; from losing 80 lbs to repositioning herself professionally midlife in her career.
