What should I do if I feel nervous?

I often feel nervous before presentations. What can I do to calm down?

It's completely normal to feel nervous before a presentation. Here are a few techniques you can try: deep breathing, visualization, and practicing your speech multiple times.

Deep breathing sounds good. How do I do it properly?

To practice deep breathing, find a quiet space. Inhale deeply through your nose for a count of four, hold for four, and exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of six. Repeat this several times.

What about visualization? How does that help?

Visualization involves imagining yourself succeeding in your presentation. Picture the audience reacting positively, and focus on the feelings of confidence and calmness. This can help reduce anxiety.

Thanks! I’ll try these techniques before my next presentation.
