on your breathing for a minute or so.
Oxygen is essential for optimal brain
function, and you will literally think
better when your brain gets what it
needs. Combine exercise and mind-
ful breathing with a healthy diet and
sleep regimen and you'll be ready to
perform at your best. You will per-
form at your full potential if you set
yourself up for success. - Jeff Pitta,
Medicare Plan Finder
8. Listen to your favorite music
When it comes to being nervous be-
fore a big pitch or presentation, noth-
ing quite beats listening to some good
music. I have a few different albums
that I listen to before a big pitch. It's
usually something that I've been lis-
tening to for a long time and always
something that gets my toes tapping.
It doesn't make the pitch or meeting
any less stressful, but it's a fantas-
tic way to really calm the nerves. If I
can walk into a meeting with one of
my favorite songs running through
my head, I'm in a good place to really
deliver the goods when pitching and
presenting. - Yaniv Masjedi, Nextiva
nerves before a presentation
They say that
your ideal
client is like a
bullseye. When
you shoot for
that bullseye,
you are more
likely to hit the
target instead
of just throwing
the dart into
the air with
no planned
direction. Aim
to speak to
that one person
and motivate
yourself by
picturing him
or her right in
front of you
when you get
on the stage
