What's Your Zipline?
A few years ago, I was with 20 of America's most effective presenters - The Speakers Roundtable - at the Pecos River Conference Center near Sante Fe, NM. We were working on our communication skills, not unlike the work we do in our Excellence in Speaking Institute (ESI) classes.
At Pecos River, a zipline was a part of an outward bound-type challenge for attendees to check their own nerve. Set from a rock at the top of a mesa to a point below, the zipline dared us to ride down holding only its wooden handle.
Now, the mesa was about the height of the average 18-story building. Challenging and unnerving? You bet! But we all did it.
  "(ESI) pushed me to my limits... which has made me see some potential that I have not cultivated!
"
The best part was that we learned more about ourselves and recognized new personal limits. It was a benchmark experience that I remember nearly as vividly as the day of the plunge.
Cut to our ESI classes, where we have our own version of the zipline challenge. Day Three is game day. The challenge is to define and confront any personal obstacles that are in the way of being your best. Attendees leave feeling they can confront and best their former communications hurdles.
So, tell me, what's your zipline? Drop us a note and let us know what challenges you've faced and how you overcame them. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
