1 Prepare and practice

One of the best ways to reduce your nerves is to prepare and practice your presentation well in advance. This will help you to know your content, structure your speech, and anticipate possible questions or challenges. You can also practice your delivery, such as your voice, body language, and eye contact, by rehearsing in front of a mirror, a friend, or a video camera. Practicing will help you to identify and improve your strengths and weaknesses, and to feel more comfortable and confident with your material.

Prepare, practice, rehearse, (repeat)... not to the point you end up memorizing all the content (this will constrain your non-verbal delivery and the enthusiasm of your speech). Avoid (at all costs!) reading verbatim from the slides, this will kill your presentation in no time (a bored audience = more stress for the speaker). Always have in mind the importance of keeping a good flow. Finally, embrace it is impossible to anticipate all the questions (this can be quite liberating).

2 Breathe and relax

Another way to calm your nerves is to breathe and relax before and during your presentation. Breathing deeply and slowly can help you to lower your heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle tension, and to oxygenate your brain. You can also use some relaxation techniques, such as progressive muscle relaxation, visualization, or positive affirmations, to reduce your stress and anxiety. Relaxing will help you to focus on your presentation, rather than on your fears or worries.

While delivering your speech hold a pen, a pointer or a similar object you can play with. This will help you to relax and to keep your hands busy if you get nervous at some point.

3 Engage and interact

A third way to calm your nerves is to engage and interact with your audience. Engaging and interacting with your audience can help you to establish rapport, build trust, and create interest. You can do this by using eye contact, smiling, asking questions, inviting feedback, or using humor or stories. Engaging and interacting with your audience will help you to feel more connected and supported, rather than isolated or judged.

Avoid getting stuck in front of the board. Instead, move freely along the room and make eye contact with the listeners. This will help you to relax while improving the interaction and foster the audience interest in your presentation.

4 Adapt and improvise

A fourth way to calm your nerves is to adapt and improvise if something goes wrong or unexpected during your presentation. Adapting and improvising can help you to cope with challenges, such as technical difficulties, interruptions, or difficult questions, without losing your composure or credibility. You can do this by having a backup plan, using humor or honesty, or acknowledging and addressing the issue. Adapting and improvising will help you to show your flexibility and resilience, rather than your panic or frustration.

5 Learn and improve

A fifth way to calm your nerves is to learn and improve from your presentation experience. Learning and improving can help you to evaluate your performance, identify your strengths and areas for improvement, and celebrate your achievements. You can do this by asking for feedback, reviewing your recording, or reflecting on your feelings and thoughts. Learning and improving will help you to grow your presentation skills, confidence, and satisfaction, rather than dwelling on your mistakes or regrets.
