Be prepared but not too prepared
You don’t have to be funny
Name names
You want empathy not sympathy
Start at the beginning and end at the end

Shift the focus from yourself and your fear to your true purpose—contributing something of value to your audience.
Stop scaring yourself with thoughts about what might go wrong. Instead, focus your attention on thoughts and images that are calming and reassuring.
Refuse to think thoughts that create self-doubt and low confidence.
Practice ways to calm and relax your mind and body, such as deep breathing, relaxation exercises, yoga, and meditation.
Exercise, eat well, and practice other healthful lifestyle habits. Try to limit caffeine, sugar, and alcohol as much as possible.

Prepare your material in advance and read it aloud to hear your voice.
Make connections with your audience: Smile and greet people, thinking of them as friends rather than enemies.
Stand or sit in a self-assured, confident posture. Remain warm and open and make eye contact.
Give up trying to be perfect and know that it is OK to make mistakes. Be natural, be yourself.
