Break Time!

Creating, delivering and debriefing a program is is a demanding master. In my experience, artists — remember, public speaking is an art — seem to work at a creative peak about four to five hours daily. Yes, we're all different and must find our zone, yet I am at my best for an hour or two, then a break. Continuing beyond that leads to negative work: that which, when done, is so poor it must be redone... better... a waste of time. Do what Elvis did, leave the building (the zone).

Then return, mind afresh; beverage refilled; ready for the next program.
