It can be helpful if you plan in advance what you want to say to them and practice, whether that be saying what you want to say in front of a mirror a few times or practicing some role play scenarios with someone who you are comfortable with talking to.

Sometimes people feel awkward talking to authority figures in fear that you'll say something stupid. The best thing to do is take a deep breath and take a step into their shoes, imagine how you would feel if you were that authority figure while talking to you. That's what I do whenever I get too scared to talk to someone, and it actually really helps me.

I have struggled with talking to authority figures and learned to practice deep breathing before a meeting. If I encounter an interaction on the spot, I remind myself to take my deep breaths quietly while putting on my neutral, slightly smiling face. By doing this I calm my nervous system and I tend to talk with more clarity.

Be confident. Authority isn’t there to hurt you or make you feel bad, authority is there to help you in learning a lesson or important information.
