What to do in the ten minutes before a big meeting

A short preparation ritual can settle your pace, sharpen your message, and move attention away from self-judgment.

Start with what is true now

Useful change begins with an honest picture of your current situation. Notice where your energy goes, which conversations you avoid, and what you keep telling yourself must happen first.

Choose one meaningful experiment

You do not need a complete reinvention. Select one action small enough to try this week and significant enough to teach you something.

Progress becomes easier to trust when you can see it in your own behavior.
