Plan key points beforehand, but avoid rehearsing every word, it keeps your energy and delivery natural
Controlled breathing calms your nerves and gives you natural pauses to stay grounded during conversations
You don’t need long answers—clear, concise replies help conserve energy and boost confidence
Focus on the other person’s words; it takes the pressure off you and helps you respond thoughtfully
Use open gestures, eye contact, and a relaxed posture, they silently amplify your confidence
Talk in settings where you feel comfortable, smaller groups or familiar spaces help reduce mental fatigue
Give yourself time to rest afterward, silence, journaling, or a short walk can restore your energy
