Your Essential Public Speaking Travel Pack

One of my clients is heading to Oxford to give a talk (break a leg, S!) and I’ve put together this Essential Travel Pack for her to use on the day of her talk.  

If you’ve got a speech coming up, here are the 4 essential things to have in your back pocket (by which I mean saved on your phone).

• Quick Vocal Warm Up: Horse Breath (1 minute)

• Venue Check: Make the Room Work for You (1 minute)

• Handle Your Nerves: Grounding Meditation (5 minutes) 

• Don’t Forget: PreShow Checklist 

And even if you don’t take advantage of any of these tools, make sure you’ve got a good pair of headphones with you. Nothing says “please don’t talk to me right now, I’m chillaxing” like having your headphones in - even if there’s nothing playing! It’s the ultimate hack.

Cheers!

Ps. If you need more vocal and physical warm up help (ie. your diction isn’t great, you lose your breath, you feel super awkward, etc.) click here.
