Winging It

Do you have to wing-it often in your role ?

I find I do, and it's interesting as working without a net focusses the mind nicely.  But, it's not always successful and it's quite tiring.  When you're 'off-script' and doing what you think is correct, you have to keep your mind's eye clearly focussed on the end goal and not get diverted, otherwise you end up with a result quite different than where you may have hoped it would go.

To do this well, you have to know your subject inside and out, and have a feel for your audience as well.  It's also advisable to keep the fact that you're doing this to yourself..no one want to know how sausages are made.

If you haven't winged it in a while (or ever), try it.  It'll give you a new healthy respect for what you contribute.
