There is much to be gained from reading word for word, and much to be lost.
Saying a lot in a short period of time is way more difficult than it seems.
So challenging to meet the listening needs of a diverse audience, including the diversity of where people sit (for example, we sat in the last row).
When you hope a teenager is inspired and they tell you honestly they aren’t – it’s time for Grace and time for being non-judgemental (of the speaker).
“Maybe they asked him last night to fill in, or maybe only a few days ago. Maybe he doesn’t speak often.”
Resist the temptation to judge.
Resist at all costs.
Don’t. Do. It.
Critiquing a speaker for me is the same as a chef visiting a restaurant when they’re hungry. It’s literally impossible to not make a judgement with the first bite of every food item on her plate – she can’t help herself, it’s in her blood. It’s automatic. And human.
It’s instinctual to help us survive.
Should i spit this out because it’s awful?
Do i want to come back because it’s so amazing?
