Reframe Imposter Syndrome Before A Big Presentation
It is not vague nerves, it is a specific fear that someone in the room will ask the one question you have not prepared for, and generic pep talks are not touching it. This names the real fear, tests it against your actual track record, and gives you one thing to do in the ten minutes before you walk in.

3. Separate what is genuinely useful nervous energy from what is unhelpful catastrophising
4. Give one concrete grounding action to use in the ten minutes before the event
