‘Golf is Not a Game of Perfect’ is Doctor Bob Rotella’s best-known book, published in 1995. I have read and reread this most enjoyable and easy-to-read book many times. My copy is full of coloured highlighter paragraphs to remind me of things that have become relevant to me, perhaps only on the second or third reading.
The same mantra slightly changed to ‘Presenting is Not a Game of Perfect’ is advice that I regularly provide to my clients.
Your job is not to be word or slide perfect. Your ambition should be to entertain and educate your listeners and ultimately support them in solving some of their business problems.
Do this and you will lead a fulfilling life and be seen as an asset to your colleagues and customers alike.
