Overcoming Stage Fear Forever

Stage fear is your body trying to protect you. We retrain that signal.

Physical reset (2 minutes)

• Box breathing 4-4-4-4
• Shake out hands and shoulders
• Power pose for 60 seconds

Mental reset

• Replace "What if I fail?" with "Who am I serving?"
• Visualize the first 30 seconds, not the entire talk

On stage

• Plant your feet
• Speak to one person at a time
• Smile before you speak — it lowers your own cortisol

Do this for ten talks and stage fear stops controlling you.
