Take Support from other People

Eilidh Milnes 
Where would Luke Skywalker be without Obi-Wan Kenobi? Where would Paul Daniels be without Debbie Mc Gee? Bad places most likely.
If you know someone who is really good at doing what you are about to do, ask them for advice and guidance. Or if you feel uncomfortable with this direct approach because you do not know them well enough, watch them closely.
  • How do they act?
  • How do they approach the situation?
  • How do they react to high-pressure?
You can also learn from high profile and famous people so long as the role model is relevant to you. Tiger Wood's golf swing is not going to help your presentation pitch persae, but watching Barack Obama speak on YouTube might.
It's also helpful to learn from the mistakes of others. The Apprentice may or may not appeal to you as ideal TV viewing, however if you use your observation skills you can learn a lot from this programme - something that sadly many of Sir Alan's weaker candidates are totally oblivious to.
So go ahead and take support from someone you know, like and trust. You'll probably find that he/she is highly flattered by your request and more than happy to help you.
