Description
Pre-presentation nerves are completely normal — but they don't have to take over.
Pitch Calm is a gentle group session using Ericksonian hypnosis techniques to help
professionals unwind, breathe and approach high-stakes moments with a calmer mindset.
Through a guided relaxation, participants are invited to mentally release tension around
presenting, pitching or public speaking — at their own pace, fully conscious and in control.
What participants will experience:
- A guided relaxation focused on releasing performance-related tension
- A simple mental rehearsal exercise (widely used in sports psychology)
- Basic anchoring techniques to access calm before important moments
A practical, grounding experience for anyone who wants to feel a little more at ease
when speaking in front of others.
Note: This is an introductory group experience, not individual coaching.
Results vary from person to person.
Benefits
1. A moment to release tension around public speaking
2. Introduction to simple mental preparation techniques
3. A calmer, more grounded state before high-stakes situations
4. Basic anchoring tools to explore independently
5. Shared experience for sales teams, founders or managers
