Know your topic and come prepared: Feel confident about your topic. Select a topic that you know well and that is relevant to your audience. Prepare thoroughly and practice extensively.



Use positive self-talk: Remind yourself that you know your topic and are prepared. Tell yourself that the audience is on your sidebecause it is Moreover, most speakers appear to be more confident than they feel. Make this apparent confidence work for you.

Shift the spotlight to your visuals: At least some of the time the audience will be focusing on your slides, transparencies, handouts, or whatever you have preparedand not totally on you.



Ignore any stumbles: Realize that it is okay to make an occasional mistake. Don't apologize or confess your nervousness. If you make a mistake, ignore the stumble and keep going. The audience will forget any mistakes quickly.
