Need help with public speaking nerves?
Confidence in public speaking comes with speaking regularly. Embrace that you want to be a good public speaker and use any chance, especially smaller audience, less nerve-wracking opportunities. Weddings, town hall meeting, internal company meetings, small webinars, small room presentations, and panels. Participating in panels is a great way to crawl, walk, run - you get to get on stage, speak, learns from others, and build your confidence while being supported by 3-4 other speakers next to your. Then migrate up to doing things like a workshop with 25-40 people on a topic that you know in your sleep. Build your skills, confidence, and figure out what works and doesn't work for you before excepting an invite to speak on a big stage.

Need help with public speaking nerves?
Being nervous before you speak and at the beginning of a presentation is not a bad thing. It means you care about doing well and delivering value to the audience. The goal is to get comfortable at least a few minutes in to your talk. A couple of tips: - Get to the room early, walk the stage, know what mic and clicker you will use; do your slides look good on the screen, are the lights in your eyes? The goal is to eliminate surprises, which can throw even experienced speakers. - Design the opening for you - whether playing a video, telling a personal story, or whatever - find something that gets you comfortable right away so you can relax and focus on the audience and your presentation.
