I find that the easiest way to get a presentation done is to just know what your going into and get it over with. The truth is that nobody remembers a bad presentation, only the good ones. So if you stuff it up, Don't worry! I always make sure that i go first in presentation situations when there is more than one presenter, and i make sure i practice practice practice! I always feel awful after a presentation, and i know that i will probably always be very nervous around presenting n front of people. But i know that i can do it, even if it feels like the world is going to end. This probably didn't help at all, but at least i tried, right?

Think of being with the person of your dreams and having a good time. Think about the ideal you you want to become in an another world. Think about things you love and you achieving them. I highly recommend to think about spending good time with the person of your dreams, works a lot for me ;)

A presentation is connected with show off. Its as simple as selling things on road/in a shop. Presentation is just like modelling. Show that you are the Best and grab the opportunity! Thinking makes difference. When we get away from the fear of What... then we say YES why not????

When I make a presentation, I focus on the material - what I have to present about - and I look for a familiar object, say a teacher, and force myself to go on. To focus on one thing instead of the audience. That or pretend they're not there.

Many people find visualization helpful. If you know you have an upcoming presentation, work on visualizing yourself in the situation, as a preparation. You might feel the feelings of anxiety. Then what you do is try to shift it, vizualise yourself doing the presentation feeling entirely comfortable and confident. Do this visualization for 5-10 minutes everyday and with time you will notice a shift in how you feel when you do a presentation.

The best thing you can do is eliminate exaggerated fear. If you feel like they're staring at you, judging you, look around you and see that it's really alright. Practice on acting like the rest of them and realize your not really that different. Calm yourself with your breathing with relaxation techniques and practice until it comes easily to you. You don't have to look directly at them but maybe look right above them.

Doing meditation - especially one that emphasizes focus - has always helped me before a presentation. That will help you get your heart rate down, clear your head, and help you focus on only the presentation. The last thing you need is for all your other stresses and anxieties to creep in when you're already out of your comfort zone! I also find it the most helpful to be as prepared as possible. Know what you're presenting through and through so that you feel confident in yourself and your knowledge.
