Begin speakingwith greatconfidence.

Do the best you can to keep your “great confidence” from sounding like shouting, berating, or any other negative response. Instead, speak clearly, comfortably, and with ease. If you need to, remain close to the lectern at the beginning of your presentation. This may help you feel a bit more comfortable in the setting. And you’ll be able to be reasonably close to your notes.
