There's no physical danger here.

So you need to remind yourself, nothing terrible is going to happen.

The fourth, are we up to the third step?

I think we're up to the third step.

The third step is to keep your, whatever you're going to say, keep it as short as possible.

And the reason why I say this is because your brain is magnifying what could go wrong because you probably haven't done this many times.

It doesn't really have the proof points that you can do this and do it well.

And if you try and go out there and the first thing you want to say is a five minute monologue about, you're going to fluster and lose interest

And then you're going to have a negative evidence point.

So keep it really short.

You might validate what someone else has said.

That's a great idea, Jay.

Or I'd like to build on what Simon said.

Or Maria, can you repeat that one more time?

I want to make sure my notes have it correctly.

Really low stakes, easy.

You're just allowing that energy to come out.

Once you've done that and you've got the proof point, the next step is, okay, now I'm going to really share what I wanted to share, ask that longer question, share my perspective.

I know I can do it because I just did it before.

I'm also going to breathe again.
