The Mistake We Make About Self-Confidence

Chris and Will: Memory Trouble
Dr. Will: You missed your appointment last week!
Chris: Doc, I tried to memorize my last presentation. It turned out so bad that I couldn’t bear to come out publicly. 🤯😩
Dr. Will: I see you have Scriptitis Memorabilis! 🩺🔬
Memorizing a whole script may seem like a safety net, but it often gets speakers in trouble. 😳
When your brain is focused on every single word, a single forgotten line can make the whole thing fall apart.
Memorizing keeps your attention on yourself instead of on your audience. You can’t be innovative for fear of losing your train of thought.😬
The power of the brain rests in its ability to improve ideas and not to keep them static. As you try to recall what you memorized, your brain is battling to add more.

Chris and Will: What if I Read My Speech?
Chris: Doc, I’ve noticed that some speakers just read straight from their notes, word for word. It feels...well, a bit lifeless.🔖
Dr. Will: Ah, Chris, sounds like a classic case of Fullscriptophilia! Reading entirely from your script can drain the life out of a speech and cut off the connection with the audience.🩺🔬
Chris: But isn’t it safer to have everything right in front of you? 🤔
Dr. Will: Technically true, but the problem is that you risk losing your audience’s engagement. When you’re glued to the page, you miss out on eye contact, natural expression, and responding to their reactions. It becomes more of a recital than a conversation.👍
