I'm in the car before a speaking event talking about how I prepare for a public speaking event. 
- Arriving early
- Printed material as well as slides just in case of tech stuff 
- Doing a questionnaire before speaking and connecting before hand
- Books and business cards with me for the table at the back 
- Video camera
- Wearing a specific outfit and jewelry - looking professional
- Headache pills!
- Coffee :) 
- Introvert prep with loud music
- Writing my intention in my diary
