Here are a few tips to help you calm those nerves:
Don't do everything at the last minute
Rushing around gets your adrenalin going and can hype you up too much.
Breathing deeply to help you relax
Breathing deeply helps slow your pulse rate down and makes you feel more relaxed.
Stretching or exercising
Stretching helps to relax your muscles and to take away tension.
Listening to some calming music
Listening to music can take your mind off things.
Chatting with friends
Chatting to friends can help — but don't get too excited or you'll be too hyped up!
Getting your head in gear - don't get the giggles or fool around
Don't mess around. You need to be professional on this task.
Imagining how good you’ll feel when it’s all over? It's called 'future basing'
In future basing you start by imagining you've achieved your goal - the end of the talk.
Then go backwards through the steps you need to make you get there.
