1.) Don't panic - Yes, even I after 9 years still get the "stage jitters"! Having a calm approach going into an event does wonders for ones ability to think ahead and think on your feet.
2.) Visualize the event. Backwards and Forwards then Forward and Backwards. Consult Murphy's Laws...
3.) Meditate - A bit of calming the heart & mind never hurts
4.) Pack the trusty bottle-opener - Totems/charms are important too!
5.) Polish! - Every detail is important. Check and polish shoes, tie, dress clothes, sharpened the bottle opener. All my personal equipment must be mint condition before seeing action.
6.) Rinse and Repeat as necessary!
