Getting in front of people and delivering training means that every day is a performance for me. This was even more true when I was doing face-to-face training. But even on zoom there is an element of performance, rehearsal and thinking about scripting. And if you take that even further there is the saying that all the worlds a stage and we are all players upon that stage.

I like that idea, being a player in your own life’s drama. One of the questions it throws up is – who is writing the script for your life drama? If you are writing the script then you can influence it – how exciting it is, where the action takes place, who the other players in the drama might be, whether there are scenes with happy endings, are there any cliff hangers, is it high drama or homely soap and so on.

If you are allowing someone else to produce and direct your life drama, and write the script then how much control do you have? Are you happy with their writing? What would you write in your own scenes? What ending do you want to tomorrow’s scenes? Who do you want to be appearing opposite you? What is the message and overall story of your drama?

Remember that you can decide how each day plays out and if you don’t like it then it can be rewritten on the hoof, as it is actually happening. Become a world class writer of the best drama ever – your life!
