  2. Know the room • Familiarise yourself with the place in which you will speak. • Arrive early and walk around the room • Stand at the podium speak into the microphone. • Walk around where the audience will be seated. • Walk from where you will be seated to the place where you will be speaking.

  3. Know the Audience • Greet some of the audience as they arrive and chat with them. • It is easier to speak to a group of friends than to a group of strangers.

  4. Know Your Material If you are not familiar with your material or are uncomfortable with it, your nervousness will increase. • Practice your speech or presentation and revise it until you can present it with ease.

  5. Learn How to Relax • You can ease tension by doing exercises. • Sit comfortable with your back straight. • Breathe in slowly, hold your breath for 4 to 5 seconds, then slowly exhale. • Relax your facial muscles, open your mouth and eyes wide, then close them tightly.

  6. Visualise Yourself Speaking • Imagine yourself walking confidently to the podium as the audience applauds. • Imagine yourself speaking, your voice loud, clear and assured. • When you visualise yourself as successful, you will be successful.

  7. People Want You To Succeed All audiences want speakers to be interesting, stimulating, informative and entertaining. They want you to succeed - not fail.

  8. Speaking Strengths • Exude confidence, speak loud enough and clearly • Don’t worry about nervousness. If you don't say anything about it, nobody will notice. • Don’t keep apologising

  9. Concentrate on Your Message - not the medium • Concentrate on your message and your audience, not yourself. • Make eye contact , move your face around the room
