Keep Your Cortisol Low❖ In her TED Talk, Nilofer Merchant
explains the importance of keeping your cortisol low !
❖ Cortisol is a steroid hormone that is secreted by your adrenal glands during times of stress and anxiety, and has the ability to limit your creativity and ability to understand complex information!
❖ The best way to lower cortisol levels? Exercise! !
❖ So hit the gym, take a quick yoga class, or go out for a run before a speaking event. And if you’re really short time, a brisk 10-minute walk really makes all the difference

Create a Routine❖ No matter how you want to look at it, we
are all, in some way, creatures of habit !❖ When it comes to public speaking,
establishing a methodical routine can help alleviate stress and center you emotionally before getting up on the podium!
❖ Explore the space you’re speaking in beforehand, give yourself a chance to have a dry run, and establish your sight lines!❖ These are just a few beneficial tasks
you can to before each presentation. You’ll find comfort in establishing a familiar routine, and with comfort usually comes confidence.
