PUBLIC SPEAKING TIP
Wiggling your toes during a presentation can help reduce nervousness by grounding you in the present moment. This simple action shifts focus from anxious thoughts to a physical sensation, helping you stay calm and centered. It's discreet, so your audience won’t notice, and it gives you a subtle way to release tension without affecting your delivery. Try wiggling your toes before and during your talk to help maintain control and ease nerves.
Until next time.
