19.4: Masterclass on How to Prepare

Everyone loves to feel prepared, but what would happen if you didn’t really prepare at all?  

How do you prepare for the moments of pressure?

In this masterclass, Viv is interested in our different relationships with preparation. Writer and commentator Bryony Gordon says if you’re passionate about your subject, then you don’t need a script, while Labour MP Jess Phillips thinks it’s important to celebrate the imperfections in spoken delivery. Entrepreneur Debbie Wosskow is great at talking in a variety of high pressure situations.  She advises over-preparation, and that you should also be ready to talk about anything.

Viv’s new book, Happy High Status: How to Be Effortlessly Confident, is available for preorder.
