If you’re experiencing anxiety about your next presentation, it may be useful to ask yourself this simple question:
What is it about your upcoming presentation that’s really troubling you?
If you can get to the real reason for the anxiety, you can address the root of it. It’s not a pleasant experience approaching an audience feeling ill at ease, and they are likely to pick up your negativity.
Whereas you will want to deliver worthwhile content in a compelling way, you really want to feel good about what you’re doing too, and to feel at ease connecting with people in your audience. The successful delivery of the content is only half the job - your ability to persuade or convince is the other half, and you can only really achieve this if you feel good about you.
Answer that one queston, and you can then take the next step to address the obstacle in your path.
