Welcome to Presenting Magically Express – a brand-new series within The Result Show focused on teaching you how to present with power, presence, and purpose using NLP.

This first episode dives into the most important (and most overlooked) skill in speaking, performing, or showing up in any high-stakes situation: Your State.

You can be the most skilled speaker in the world, but if your state isn't right, your message won’t land. In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

:: Understand why state matters more than skill

:: Recognize how great performers "get into the zone"

:: Use the ancient Hawaiian technique of Hakalau to instantly shift into a powerful flow state

:: Apply this to public speaking, driving, performance, interviews, and everyday life

Plus, David shares stories from his pioneering work in NLP training and the surprising link between peripheral vision and inner calm.
