If you’re rehearsing your stories five minutes before an interview, you’re cooked.
I’m not saying that to be dramatic. I’m saying it because it’s true.
Right before an interview is not the time to cram, memorize examples, or mentally sprint through your résumé.
This will just get you tense, not to mention self-focused (, hmmm, what’s he mean here?).
Interviewers can feel your tension.
It becomes palpable.
The best performers do something different before any conversation.
They run through a pre-interview ritual that puts them in the right state of mind.
Not a routine. That’s too mechanical and mindless.
A ritual. That’s a performance enhancer.
It’s something intentional that interrupts fear, quiets the noise, and shifts their focus away from themselves and onto the people they’re about to meet.
Thanks to a great question from Shantel, that’s what I’m teaching in this week’s lesson.
You’ll learn why interviews are won or lost before the first question is asked, how to reframe every interview as a guaranteed win regardless of the outcome, and the simple mental ritual that helps you show up relaxed, confident, and ready to deliver value.
Interviews don’t reward the most prepared candidate.
They reward the candidate who shows up in the strongest state.
