Performance: Don't Know Mind

Performance: Don’t Know Mind

In Buddhism, there is a concept of don’t know. It doesn’t mean that one lacks knowledge, it means that one accepts the unknown– without comment. In so doing, one becomes knowledge, because one simply recognizes knowledge.

When we present, we all want to show what we know. The level of expertise we possess. We *want* the acknowledgment. We may even need it.

Here is what I’d like you to consider. If you seek to be what you want to share, to personify the knowledge, you will be more impactful. Your presentation alone will be the embodiment of the knowledge you seek to impart. Don’t worry, if you do this well, people will see you. You will still be at the center of the presentation, just not its focus.

The more you eliminate the *I* in your presentation that more you will truly be present.
