How to Minimize Fear and Anxiety in Presentation?
- Know the audience — do your homework.
- Prepare, prepare, prepare.
- Be confident — know the purpose of your presentation.
- Don't memorize your presentation —know it so well, you own it.
- Know more about your subject than you need to.
- Prepare and rehearse a power opening and close.
- Practice with your visuals and equipment.
- Be yourself — pretend you are talking to your friends and don't strive for perfection—the audience will forgive mistakes.
- Arrive early — meet audience members and keep eye contact with a few of them during your talk.
- Remember the three E's
- Earned the right—talk about something you know, and know you know.
- Eager to Share—talk about something you have a deep desire to share with your audience.
- Excited about the topic—talk about something you are passionate about.
- Control "butterflies" by:
- Taking deep breaths, stretch, and do some physical activity.

- Remember to have fun.
