Ninja Road Warrior Tip of the Day: dress rehearsal

Hi everybody, Cheryl Knowlton coming at you with your Ninja Road Warrior Tip of the Day. Okay, so the day of your presentation is not the day for you to try out a new makeup look, new hair look, new outfit or new shoes. Please do your dress and tech rehearsal in the outfit that you intend to wear, whether you’re a man or a woman, the whole thing.

If you’re a man, with the tie, without the tie, with the shoes, with the whole ensemble that you intend to speak in to make sure the shoes are not pinching and uncomfortable, to make sure that everything fits the way you want it to, that nothing’s bunchy or pulling or driving you absolutely crazy. The time to figure that out is not when you are on stage delivering your rock star self and then you’ll be good to go.
