LPT: Before any important conversation, say your first sentence out loud to yourself. Even once.
Job interviews, difficult conversations, presentations, whatever. Most people walk in and the first thing out of their mouth is shaky because they're hearing their own voice for the first time that day. If you just say your opening line out loud once beforehand, even in the car or the bathroom, your voice is warmed up and your brain already knows the words are coming. Sounds obvious but almost nobody actualy does it. #entertainment
