# Public Speaking Plan — Rachel, prepping a 15-min all-hands keynote
**Confidence:** 4/10. **Biggest challenge:** shaky voice + racing pace when nervous. **Audience:** ~120 colleagues, hybrid (room + stream).
## Self-assessment (8 dimensions, 1–5)
Voice 2 · Body language 3 · Storytelling 3 · Structure 4 · Engagement 2 · Q&A 2 · Opening 2 · Closing 3.
## 4-week plan
| Week | Daily (20 min) |
|------|----------------|
| 1 | Breath + pacing drills; record 2-min talks |
| 2 | Build the talk; rehearse out loud |
| 3 | Full run-throughs on camera; cut 20% |
| 4 | Dress rehearsals; simulate Q&A |
## Anxiety techniques
1. Box breathing (4-4-4-4) backstage.
2. Reframe nerves as energy ("excited," not "scared").
3. Power pose 2 min before.
4. First 30 seconds memorized cold.
5. A friendly face to anchor eye contact.
## Vocal warm-up
Lip trills, humming up a scale, tongue twisters, one minute reading aloud slowly.
## Opening hooks (customized)
- A surprising stat about the team's year.
- A 20-second personal story tied to the theme.
- A provocative question to the room.
**Storytelling:** 3-act structure — setup (where we were), turn (the hard call), resolution (where we're going). **Pacing cue:** mark "PAUSE" on the script every 3 sentences. **Recovery script (blank moment):** "Let me come back to that — the key thing is…" Record every rehearsal; review for filler words and pace.

Adopted the two-minute capture habit from this and never looked back.
