Minimize Fear and Anxiety in Presentation
  1. Know the audience — do your homework.
  2. Prepare, prepare, prepare.
  3. Be confident — know the purpose of your presentation.
  4. Don't memorize your presentation —know it so well, you own it.
  5. Know more about your subject than you need to.
  6. Prepare and rehearse a power opening and close.
  7. Practice with your visuals and equipment.
  8. Be yourself — pretend you are talking to your friends and don't strive for perfection—the audience will forgive mistakes.
  9. Arrive early — meet audience members and keep eye contact with a few of them during your talk.
  10. Remember the three E's
    • Earned the right—talk about something you know, and know you know.
