Just back from a fantastic swimming training weekend for my triathlon.
The Total Immersion training workshop teaches you to ‘swim like a fish’!
A number of fantastic lessons for me, but here’s one for you. The session started off with them filming me in action. Wow – if a picture paints a thousand words, my swimming technique (or lack of it!) was highlighted in glorious technicolour.
It immediately highlighted just how ugly my swimming is. Now, imagine if that video was on your business – in your reception, awaiting your delivery drivers or sales people when they arrived at a customer’s office. Or how about videoing you chairing your next meeting, appraisal, or team presentation? Even an audio recording might teach you something.
Nobody does things deliberately badly, but we somethimes need others to point out what is really going on. How could you ‘hold up a mirror’ to you and your business?
Perhaps, if videoing isn’t practical, get an ‘outsider’ to provide a fresh pair of eyes to see the ‘Real Picture’!
By the way, I was filmed again at the end of a weekend – what an improvement! And I could see it right in front of my eyes!!
Now, back to the pool for more practice!
