How to calm nerves before public speaking?

There is no one simple answer or solution. However the first step is to change your mindset. This isn’t actually about you, it’s about your audience and what you’re conveying to them. Remove the focus on yourself and how you think you’ll mess up or whether people will judge you. Instead shift your focus to who you are speaking to. This simple shift can disable our fight or flight response.

Let’s talk about nerves! As someone who has been performing on stages since I was five. I have learned to embrace nerves. Nerves mean you care! Nerves give you adrenaline, nerves make things exciting, they make our choices matter. When you’re doing any form of public speaking awareness and focus are essential ingredients.

Remember your mind is a powerful tool, allow it to serve you for good rather than enabling nerves or self doubt to overpower who you are.
