Ava’s coaching tip of the day · On Preparation
“Remember, the time spent with the audience is precious. Make the most of it by being properly prepared.”
Every minute on air is a gift. Don’t waste it by winging it. Prepare like you respect your audience’s time. Know your content. Rehearse your bits. Plan your flow. Preparation isn’t about being rigid—it’s about being ready. When you’re prepared, you can be spontaneous without being sloppy.
A weekly feature for every weekday
- Hot Takes
- Would You Rather
- Whiner Wednesday
- Random Thoughts
- Confessions
Around Christmas, New Year, Valentine’s Day and Halloween, holiday topics swap in on their own.
