Habits and getting practice

Get a routine for sleep, exercise, practice.

Make the things that matter, matter. Make practice sacred time. Make time for it.

Going onto stage and performing on stage.

Develop a routine to do before your talk - meditate, work out etc. You will be waiting for 12 minutes.

Start the talk with motion i.e. a step in the circle

Visualize how you want to feel when you walk off stage. What emotion do you want to feel?

Starting the talk - start with 1 person to talk to - deliver a sentence to them. Then find another - then move on and deliver a couple of sentences. It feels intimate.

Practice planting your feet - and move with intention.

Visualize

Story - when you're telling your story, re-live your story.

Pausing

It's one of the best things you can do. Let the ideas sink in.

Give people the opportunity to laugh if they're going to laugh.

What do I do with my hands

Think about expressing your idea with one hand at a time.

Avoid parallel gesture if you can (they're a bit distracting).

Clasping hands is a defensive subliminal cue.

Hands out open and up is another weird one - it indicates 'sorry'... hands down is a better move, comes across as 'i've got this'.

Body language

People will believe 100% of your body.

You want to be conversational and connect.

How to remember your talk

You could put sticky notes with a word representing the outline
