I'm so nervous during presentations and meetings, how can I improve my public speaking?

Improve your public speaking by maybe practicing your speech in front of family or a few close friends first, then maybe combine the two groups together to create a larger group so it's easier for you to speak in front of a large number of people! Also, to avoid uncomfortable eye-contact, fix on a focused point in the back of the room while you speak, preferably one just above everyone's eyeline. That way, it seems like you're looking at the audience when you could just be talking to the wall! :P

I think nervousness is mostly to do with being focussed on "me" and "what they will think of me". When giving a presentation I remind myself before I start that it's not about me, it's about what I have to give the audience.. I'm only doing this because I think I have something valuable (some knowledge or a message) to give to the audience. And that's all I'm giving them. I'm not giving them myself. I'm not there to perform, to get anything from them, or even to be admired. So my mind is all on what I have to offer, not on myself. If I'm passionate about what I'm offering them, then I will get carried away by that passion and forget all about myself and any reasons for being nervous.

Know your subject and if you have a choice pick something that you enjoy learning about. The best presentations are when you can be enthusiastic about sharing your unique knowledge with an audience. Be confident in your research, and that you are bringing something new and interesting to the meeting or presentation. Also, remember that getting nervous is very common, most people have some sort of anxiety before presentations, and your audience has most likely been in your position before!. The more you present, the more opportunities you'll have to turn presenting into a positive experience!

speaking at your self on the mirror cuold really improve your skills. then try to test your speech befor with your friends and when you are on the stage try to imagine to be alone or the audience wearing only their own underpants, it 's really work!

Repetition and mirror practice (or with friends/family). I do a lot of public speaking and still get super nervous. But I've found the more I know of the topic and the more I know my speech/presentation the more confident I feel when I have to do it.

practicing in front of a mirror, or family/friends in advance always helps!

Face your fear when you are on a public speech you are leading the situation and if you have trouble facing the audience find some good faces from the audience and talk to them only never mind others

There are many things you can do. Most important thing is to practice it, the more you speak publicly the more you will show your amygdala that nothing bad will happen. You can take some notes in your hands (I suggest Din A5), so you have something to do. Walk, use your hands, move. Movement makes you less nervous and you won't look as nervous. Go through your speeches and give them to your teddy.

presentations and public speaking in many settings causes a lot of anxiety for people, there are many ways to work on your confidence and your ability with these tasks. your doctor may be able to prescribe you medication to help you relax and feel less anxious. or you may just want to use other coping mechanisms such as breathing exercises, or practicing in front of small groups and people you feel most comfortable about to gain confidence.

That is my teacher's advice is that ıf you have to make a speech you think like that everybody is a cat. If you make this you can be relax. I think that is rihgt.
