So how did the FABWomen talk go?! (see previous post!) It was great fun!! I spoke to a roomful of wonderful women who were open to trying a new practice to support their being authentic in challenging situations like sales conversations.

Shelly Pereira, my co-presenter did a fabulous demo of the contrast between being in her head and being in her body! She told us about her experience at a meeting the previous evening twice, as I coached her into the two modes. It was as if she was describing two entirely unrelated events!! The first telling was about all the frustrations and difficulties she experienced in order to be at the meeting, and in the second, she shared how moving it was to be a part of an organization that was supporting young women through scholarships!

One image that still sticks in my mind is that of the videographer hurrying back and forth between the camera at the back of the room and the sound system at the front. The sound had gone on the blink during my talk, but (thankfully!) came back to life for Shelly’s presentation.

It was interesting to be aware of that activity, try to not let it throw me, and hoping I was being coherent when I came back from the momentary distraction!

I know that keeping my awareness in my own body played a huge role in my not “losing it”!

I loved hearing from several women afterwards about their amazement at Shelly’s shift, and the difference they had experienced with the exercise.
