Jumping and Preparation

Today I knew I’d phone a Very Connected Person (VCP) about Lost in Sunshine.  A good friend had spoken to a good friend, and I got the go-ahead to contact said VCP.  Omigod, excellent, thanks!!

So, what did I do before making the call?

I jumped up and down in my kitchen.

Seriously, I had so much adrenaline flowing through me, that I had to find a way to ground myself before making first contact (and first impressions) with the VCP.  I next stood still and wiggled my toes, imagining I was a tree with deep roots (more grounding).  And, then I jumped up and down again — where did these yawns come from?!  Ack!  I don’t want to yawn on the phone with the VCP!  Jump, jump!  Breeeaaathe.

Okay, dial.

What do you do to prepare, motivate, psych yourself up for an important call or meeting?

I felt it went well, in that I think I came across as knowing what our project is, and what I’m seeking from the VCP’s company.

Now, I wait.

Wouldn’t it be awesome to hear back and have their response make me want to jump up and down again?

I gotta go do some squats in preparation.
