- get conversation skills
- read the great, great books from amazon on public speaking (blackwells maybe?)
- compile social skills advice off ramit. e.g. "If you go into a bar or whatever, and you see someone and you're like—please go out with me, I'm desperate for the touch of a woman. You know, they are like, that’s ridiculous, you sound like a loser, but if I'm just like confident, calm, make a couple jokes, and I know that I have options, that’s very attractive."
- watch news anchors to get used to what they do
- you get skills through behavioural change. so legit just talk to more people mate. lol.
- goal: do well at interview. so: brainstorm all the questions, ask clare what questions they might ask, come up with stories/answers to all the questions, film myself replying to all the questions and repeat for like all of saturday! :-)
- use conversation skills to implement a plan to get to know people at oxford
- list all the people i know well enough to stop and say hello to, list all the people i want to get to that stage with, make links and think of events they'll be at.
- record all the times i met lawyers and how i connected with them, what i would do again and what not.
