Private lesson + Character Trait Videos

Tonight I did a private lesson with Sensei where we recorded the first of my 10 Character Trait videos. It was truly fun to sit with him and work through the ideas and just talk about stuff. I feel like it was the first of some really great connecting.

The first couple takes were good practice and then I felt comfortable doing these. I tried to look at it as a performance like if I were doing a speaking engagement at a conference. That seemed to help me bring back some “muscle memory” since it’s been a year or two since I did a conference talk. My last of the three for tonight didn’t go so well because my thoughts on it weren’t fully formed enough. I got through it okay with the final take but I think I could make it better and a bit smoother with some sincere practice on it.

Very much looking forward to doing more of these soon!
