8 Steps For A Powerful Pre-Interview Ritual

By Shea Ki

As a holistic interview coach, I'm often asked what is the one tip I think that upgrades an interview the most? 

Creating and consistently doing a powerful, pre-interview ritual is often my answer.

Have you ever watched a sports champion like Alex Morgan and heard how she prepares her mindset, body, and energy before the big game with the same routine? Or how celebrities including Beyonce have a pre-show ritual they never skip?  

High stakes career moments where we will be in the hot seat, especially for an interview, deserve the same intention and attention.

Maybe you have a pre-interview ritual you already follow but you want to give it an upgrade. Or perhaps it's time for you to create one to start using and feel the difference it makes. Either way, the key to gain the most benefit is consistency so that your nervous system recognizes it right away.

A pre-interview ritual serves as your most powerful strategy to trigger a calmer and more confident YOU right away. ​
