My pre-show ritual

I’m not talking about checking my mic or visualizing a successful speech or training.

I’m talking about the three little hops I do right before going on stage.

Weird. Odd. Crazy. Yes, but for some reason it’s the one superstitious thing I do as my exclamation point that I’m completely ready to go and it’s time to rock.

Pre-performance rituals are far and wide from public speaking to sports. My favorite is baseball great Nomar Garciapara’s batting ritual. Hey, whatever works to get you in your groove, right?

What’s your pre-performance ritual that gets you ready for public speaking, training, or any other task you regularly do?
