Nervous about speaking up in a virtual meeting?

Stress management for virtual meetings starts with a simple hack.

Meet the power pause: take a 2-second break before speaking.

It gives you time to think and shows confidence on camera.

Add a smile—your brain releases endorphins to ease stress.

Avoid multitasking—focus only on the meeting for clarity.

Keep a stress anchor (like a small stone) to stay grounded.

Practice these in your next call—you’ll feel unstoppable!
