1 Prepare well

One of the best ways to overcome nervousness is to prepare well for your online presentation. This means not only knowing your content, but also practicing your delivery, timing, and transitions. You should also familiarize yourself with the online platform you will be using, and test your equipment, audio, and video beforehand. Make sure you have a backup plan in case something goes wrong, such as a spare device, a printed copy of your slides, or a phone number to call. Preparing well will help you feel more confident and reduce the chances of unpleasant surprises.

One of the most important ways to overcome nervousness in an online presentation is to prepare well. First, you need prepare the contents of what you want to say. Once that is ready practice it several times. Possibly in front of a mirror, in front of a camera and maybe in front of someone. Next step is to check which platform is going to be used. If it is an unfamiliar platform, send one or two invites to known people or a team mate and practice on the platform. The 3rd step is to prepare for emergencies. That is to have a back up plan. This could mean additional devices, additional mode of network connectivity, hard copies of what you plan to present. You may want to share the presentation with the organisers in advance as well.

This isn't about alcohol or stimulating drinks. Instead: Prepare Thoroughly: Know your material well. Confidence in your content reduces anxiety. Practice: Rehearse your presentation multiple times. Familiarity breeds comfort. Relaxation Techniques: Use deep breathing or mindfulness exercises before going live. Engage Early: Start with a question or poll. Interaction eases tension. Visualize Success: Picture a successful presentation to boost confidence. Tech Check: Ensure your equipment works. Technical confidence reduces stress. Friendly Faces: Have a few supportive people in the virtual room for moral support. Focus on preparation, relaxation, engagement and visualization, to navigate online presentation nerves effectively.

2 Warm up

Another way to overcome nervousness is to warm up before your online presentation. This can help you relax your body and mind, and improve your vocal quality and energy. You can do some simple exercises, such as stretching, breathing, humming, or tongue twisters, to loosen up your muscles and vocal cords. You can also do some positive affirmations, such as "I am ready", "I am confident", or "I can do this", to boost your self-esteem and motivation. Warming up can help you calm your nerves and get into the right mindset for your online presentation.

3 Engage your audience

A third way to overcome nervousness is to engage your audience during your online presentation. This can help you create a rapport, a feedback loop, and a sense of connection with your listeners. You can engage your audience by asking questions, using polls, quizzes, or surveys, telling stories or anecdotes, using humor or emotion, or inviting comments or questions. You can also use gestures, facial expressions, eye contact, and vocal variety to convey your enthusiasm and interest. Engaging your audience can help you feel more comfortable and confident, and make your online presentation more interactive and memorable.

4 Focus on your message

A fourth way to overcome nervousness is to focus on your message during your online presentation. This means not worrying too much about yourself, your performance, or your mistakes, but rather concentrating on the value and purpose of your presentation. You should remember why you are presenting, what you want to achieve, and how you can help your audience. You should also focus on the positive aspects of your presentation, such as the strengths, the benefits, and the feedback. Focusing on your message can help you overcome your self-consciousness and nervousness, and deliver a clear and effective online presentation.

5 Learn from your experience

A fifth way to overcome nervousness is to learn from your experience after your online presentation. This means not dwelling on the negative aspects, but rather reflecting on the positive aspects and the areas of improvement. You should ask yourself what went well, what didn't go well, and what you can do better next time. You should also seek feedback from your audience, your peers, or your mentors, and use it to improve your skills and confidence. Learning from your experience can help you overcome your nervousness and grow as a public speaker.

When presenting online, three of the best ways to overcome nervousness is to share a little about who you are: 1. Share your role with the organization or institution or some funny stories relevant to the topic. 2. Engage participants by asking the audience what they expect again from the presentation to the workshop. 3. Asking for expectations from the audience is another way to take a quick pre-assessment to ensure the content meets that expectation. If necessary, make a quick adjustment.
