He said the phrase and told me afterwards she felt it shift in real time.
The shaking didn't disappear.
It just switched teams.
One more thing before you try this.
More excitement isn't always better because your sweet spot moves depending on the task.
Complex or unfamiliar material wants a lower arousal level.
If you're improvising a Q&A, delivering something brand new, aim for focus calm, not full hype.
Well-rehearsed material can handle a bigger wave of energy, and it usually plays better with more edge, not less.
Your personality shifts the curve, too.
Introverts tend to peak sooner because their baseline runs higher already.
Extroverts often need more stimulation to get there.
Know which one you are and calibrate accordingly.
Not sure which one you are?
Think back to your last few high-stakes moments.
Not how you felt walking in, but how you felt in the first 60 seconds once you started talking.
If you tend to blank or speed up, you're probably peaking too early.
Dial the energy down and lean on the calm version of the technique.
If you tend to feel flat or forgettable in the first minute, you're probably under-peaking.
Lean into the excitement and let yourself run a little hotter than feels comfortable.
Either way, you'll only know your curve by paying attention to it on purpose a few times instead of guessing.
