How can you relax and breathe easy during presentations?

Best speeches and presentations are prepared way before actual delivery. Know the subject, be prepared, still if an unexpected question is asked, pause, breathe and say confidently that "I'll get back to you on this" request contact details and remember to revert. Remember only God is omniscient!!

There is a difference between keeping a presentation to Your collegues and keeping a presentation to a group of unknowns. Of course, the first example is much easier to handle as per my experience, but during these sessions of presentations, You will gather a huge amount of blissful experience which will help you to properly maintain Your presentation skills after each sessions. An additional sidenote, if You are confident and prepared enough, You will be unstoppable, and Your ultimate goal will become much easier to achieve. I also suggest, at all times, to discover Your audience in the first few minutes, then start to focus on Your main topic. It will instantly help you to have a powerful presentation.

It is important to maintain a balance between prepared and natural. Consider preparing key communication bullet points rather than preparing each word and sentence. Prepare the key messages you wish to communicate in advance. Understand exactly what is you want the audience to hear. Trust yourself to choose the words in the moment, you've been talking all your life. Smile, crack a little joke if the mood is right. Above all, enjoy the experience.

To add, make sure you are comfortable with your look and appearance; you have to believe in yourself first. Know your audience and always start the presentation in a lighter mood with some statement to help ease up any existing tension plus help you gather some momentum to kick off.

The biggest mistake you can make is not preparing well for the topic you're presenting, not only learning the content and structuring the delivery but also anticipating potential questions from the audience on "vulnerable" or "contestable" elements of your presentation. Preparation key points: 1. know the content inside-out, should be easier if you are talking about things which you actually DO in your daily job rather than things you "hear" from the industry. 2. structure the delivery: one example might be a) start with the conclusion b) list 3-4 elements which comprise the story c) go through in detail over those points above d) wrap-up, conclude key elements and repeat the conclusion. 3. ask yourself what key questions might occur

I think visualization prior to a presentation can be extremely valuable and crucial. I sometimes draw comparisons of presentations to sporting events earlier in life. In order to get in the winning mindset, you have to visualize the win. You have to put yourself in the headspace of a winner, and attempt to rewire your brain so that you can achieve anything you put your mind to. This sounds difficult, but over time I believe it will help you to better understand your own strengths and weaknesses, and how to double down on them so that you can focus on where you need improvement. If we struggle to confidently imagine what success looks like, then there has to be a diagnosis of where the disconnect is occurring. Practice makes perfect

Take a few minutes before your presentation to close your eyes and visualize yourself giving a successful presentation. Imagine that your audience is engaged and interested, and that you are delivering your material confidently and clearly.

Visualization is a superpower. You are placing your hand on the light switch that controls reality. Imagine both success and obstacles. Then imagine your interactions, words, demeanor and approach when dealing with those potential interactions. Visualization is like training that you design for yourself.

Presentations done Internal stakeholders or External stake holders need to get the audience moving. A presentation must be to delivered with conviction & with core focus "what does it mean to them", meaning how will help the audience solve a problem. I use the Closer Framework - - Clarify why your audience is there - Label them the clear problem/challenge - Overview ( past or current pain challenges, gaps etc) - Sell them the holiday (how you/product service) is going to solve whatever it is they are trying to solve/fix. - Explain away their concerns ( very important to address common concerns people may have with your product/service/solution) - game is to pre-emptive. - Re-enforce - ideally how this worked for others

I've been applying this since my school time. We're taught to Close your eyes and get relaxed at least for 2 mins either by deep breathing or saying to self in mind "I am prepared, I can do it", before starting an exam while waiting in the hall, before presenting anything... As a kid, I couldn't understand the value of it, but fast forward today, I can see the results of being relaxed, maintaining calmness and ability to think clearly even when stressed out.

Having some time to sit and do some form of a breathing exercises will help with anxiety and focus. Prior to your presentation taking a moment to take a deep breath will help with centering oneself in front of your audience. During your presentation depending how long your presentation is, taking a second to catch your breath it’s important. Many times I see people trying to rush through presentation and not giving themselves time to catch their breath. Pause, breath, and then continue on.

Breathing the right way as when we are sleeping. Get familiar with: Relaxation & Dynamic Meditation that includes 15+ techniques to find the ones that work for you. As children we were always invited to take a deep breath, in sport same thing to get focused. Présentation is no difference and are training millions of individuals to take that control of their minds

If you start to feel nervous, take a few deep breaths to calm yourself down. Focus on your breathing and try to relax your body.

Smiling will help you to relax and appear more confident to your audience Remember that your audience is there to learn from you. They want you to succeed. Try to connect with your audience and make eye contact with them throughout your presentation.

Starting with the Don'ts: - don't stand with your arms crossed, to the side of the stage, leaned against the wall. Might give the impression you're both scared of being there or that you lost a bet with a colleague. (inspired from a true story) Do's - talk just a little louder than you'd normally do. Emotions have the potential to make you quieter than usual. - try to find in the room 2-3 people in various places who actively follow your words and establish eye contact with them. It will help you to calm down and have the sense that you're speaking to someone who's genuinely interested in what you're saying. - try to walk a little bit from left to right, if it makes sense and you have the space. Again, emotions can also ground you down.

Pausing for effect can help to emphasize important points and give your audience time to absorb the information. Have fun! If you're enjoying yourself, your audience will be more likely to enjoy themselves as well.

Few things that shifted presentations from a fear to an interest: - Trust in yourself and trust your knowledge - Prepare list of proposed situations and actions - Your audience believe what your body language tell them, so sell what you want them to know. Your anxiety won't be your obstacle as long as you are moving forward with self esteem. - Discussions should be smart to engage your audience. - Attention getters are useful. - Prepare well, know your topic and know your audience. - Don't rush to pour all what you know without taking your audience through a storyline. - It is truly fine to make a mistake and continue.

Emotions and anxiety are perfectly normal. Embrace the feeling before the presentation but make an effort to focus on what needs to be presented. Two tips: 1. try to focus your thinking on "what comes next" in the presentation, think about technical things, try to answer solutions. Focus on the content that you should know so well. Stop thinking about people, room, pressure, what might go wrong etc. 2. Try to imagine the audience as friends, family and colleagues. Try to talk to them as you'd be presenting a personal thing to friends. Understand that those people in the audience are your "friends", not a rigorous commission to analyze your mistakes and condemn you for the smallest hiccup.

I will just say one key to a great presentation is preparation... Prepare well and know your audience and try not to talk too fast...

Just for once think, what maximum will go wrong if I mess up? You know, nothing will happen, audience is on your side, they encourage you to speak up. Our insecurities deep down make us conscious while public speaking. Nobody is judging you. Relax!! They have so many other tasks to do in life. Nobody will remember where you messed up after stepping out from room.

Avoid all caffeine the ENTIRE day of your presentation. I am very comfortable on stage, no matter the size of my audience. However, the ONE time years ago I drank coffee 2 hours before I spoke on stage the results were scary! I got off stage and someone asked me, "were you nervous today for some reason?". No, I said somewhat baffled. "Why do you ask?" It turns out, the caffeine had sped up my muscle movements and my gestures and mannerisms came across as if I was jerky or impulsive and stressed. Since then, I only drink camomile tea before I speak. Not only does it calm and center me, but it adjusts perfectly for the natural excitement I feel right before I take stage, leaving me in a really good mental and physical space to present.

All advice is good but it's not much without practice. There are many elements to a presentation which you need to handle and it won't be everything perfect from the very beginning. So find opportunities to practice, preferably in environments where mistakes are not costly, in front of unpretentious audiences or in setups where people and topics are familiar. Your office environment might be a good starting point, or Toastmasters or even Improv Theatre.

In my opinion, a good preparation is one of things that make you feel confident before presenting. This can conclude a good content, an audiences, "takt time", eye-contact as well when you stand before all people. In addition, you need to go back and forth in order to interact with everyone. This means that you can control and be an owner in this stage when presenting. The last one is the feedback and interactions from people when you finish your present. All people smile and feel exiciting demonstrates you are successful!
