It’s Just Your Idea, Not You Personally

Have a mantra to keep you focused on why your talk counts, “This idea matters.”

Five minutes before you speak, breathe, do push-ups, and drink water. Remember the power of vulnerability. If you screw up, say, “Oops, sorry, a little nervous here.” Look at the audience for sympathetic and encouraging faces. And finally, remember that it’s not about you, it’s about your idea.
