Personal Development for Smart People Forums - View Single Post - Help! I was too nervous during my interview

What I learned in a personal development training, and is working extremely well: often, whenever I am nervous (for interviews, public speaking, cold calling, etc) the focus is on ME. When I shift my focus on THE OTHER, their needs, it's easy!

I find that our minds want to keep us in the place that we are ('change is bad') and nervousness is our mind's tool to keep us fixed.

I'm using this also when I coach others and usually the results are amazing!
