In the morning:
During the day 1.Stick to one sleep schedule during the week and on the weekends. This lets your body know when to sleep and when to wake. 2. Stop [consuming] caffeine by 2 PM. This allows enough time to get caffeine out of your system. 3. Stop [consuming] alcohol three hours before bed. This allows enough time to get alcohol out of the system. 4. Stop exercise four hours before bed. This makes sure that you’re not to excited from your workout to sleep. 5. Get 15 minutes of sunlight each day. This helps re-set your biological rhythm.

“Speak slowly and speak up and prepare, prepare, prepare. Remember to stay on point and if you find yourself rambling, get back on point as fast as you can.” Preparation is Key“Prepare. I can’t stress this enough. Also, be up on current events and have things to talk about. If you want to be interesting to other people, you have to be interested in the world and of course in people. Look people in the eye when you speak to them.” Keep Things Simple “Simple is better [when it comes to dressing]. Choose one thing to stand out: yourself. They shouldn’t remember the loud patterned blouse you wore. Try to find something small that is uniquely you. I always wear my Dad’s ring as a necklace. He died when I was 14 and this ring was made for him by my mother. It’s an owl one way and upside down is a walrus.” Be Honest “Smile but don’t over do it. You don’t want to look silly. I also think honesty is best in most cases. When I interviewed to produce the series Eastbound & Down, Danny McBride asked what I thought of the Pilot and I was honest, I hadn't watched it. I told him I hadn’t seen it but I was sure I would love it. Never apologize in an interview for skills you are still learning, just say you are still learning because most people are. Believe you are the best candidate but be humble.” By Stephanie Liang http://www.thecoveteur.com Be Prepared To Be Unprepared Assume that something is not going to go right, think about that and be okay with the fact that there could be something that isn’t exactly perfect. I love being prepared for unprepared. It is something that I think people overlook. Keep Things Going In presentations, just keep presenting. People are human, they slip up — you may pick the wrong words, you may have gone out of order. The audience may not know that, only you may know that. Keep doing the presentation just persevere. The second thing is when you are presenting keep your head still. People don’t realize that often when they are presenting their head is bobbing, the hands are moving, they may be pacing, or some nervous tick may be coming out. One of the things to just focus on is that your head is straight. Second thing is make eye contact with people in the audience. That’s going to give you a sense of grounding and help you make a connection with people as you are doing the presentation. Then finally, which is actually very important, your sentences should have a beginning and an end. Don’t speak in long rambling prose. Speak succinctly, speak directly and speak purposefully. Slowing yourself down and being crisp and clear will give that air of confidence because people will be able to understand you and they will interpret your succinctness as knowledge. Body Talk What you don’t want to do is stand with your hands in front of you, closing yourself off. You want to come out and start with a pose that’s going to be: your feet slightly shoulder width apart, arms to the side (you may want to begin with one hand on a hip in a major presentation and then put your hands down).Start with trying to make your body big. Before you go out, do a quick, what they call “the tall and proud,” stand there, put your arms up and stretch. It’s almost like a sun salutation but slightly more with a V — just let your body get big. Feel that bigness. Put those arms down and then go out and start that presentation.
