Take a breath.

Written By Rhonda Henderson

So you're experiencing anxiety about an upcoming talk or presentation. Now what?

If you can, take a breath and interrogate the anxiety for specific information:

🔦 What am I anxious about?
🔦 Am I nervous about forgetting my points?
🔦 Am I imagining the worst-case scenario, and what is that, exactly?
🔦 What am I afraid will NOT happen?

Feelings of anxiety before public speaking can point us to our values and our fears. Follow them for a minute, and the information can form your success strategy.
