How can I manage my performance anxiety before a big presentation?

It's common to feel anxious before a presentation. Have you tried deep breathing exercises or visualization techniques?

I've heard about visualization. How does that work?

Visualization involves imagining yourself succeeding in your presentation. Picture the audience reacting positively and you feeling confident.

That sounds helpful! What about during the presentation itself?

During the presentation, focus on your breathing and take pauses. Engaging with the audience can also help shift your focus away from anxiety.

Thanks! Any tips for practicing my speech?

Practice in front of a mirror or record yourself. You can also rehearse in front of friends or family for feedback.
