Hey! Welcome to Toward Creativity -  a podcast by Benjamin Harding - that's me. You can find me on instagram @bhardingmusic and on my website benjaminharding.net. 

Toward Creativity is to serve as guide in conversations centered around tips, tools and strategies towards building a sustainable creative career. 

Let’s get to today’s episode!

On today's episode I outline five tips and tools that will help you deal with nerves as you present in public. We all deal with performance anxiety. For some of us it's in our public speaking. For others it's in our performing of music in public. Whatever the scenario, we all deal with nervous energy. 

Spoiler alert! 

Here are the 5 tips:

1. Deep Breathing and Mindfulness
2. Practice Performing
3. Record and Analyse your Performances/Presentations
4. Do Some Cardio
5. Maybe See a Doctor about Beta Blockers 

Here are the resources that I recommend at the end of the episode:
