After that (and the fact that I survived) I have never been afraid to speak.
I try to envision I'm just explaining what I'm saying to one person, rather than the group. it comes out more enthusiastically and I feel less stressed.
Let us know how it went. |
-Thank you for the advice. It's not a lot of people I'm presenting in thankfully- the lighting is just really terrible...I think the flourescent light bulbs make me feel like I'm under interrogation.

That is just it. I have to use scientific terms that I'm not very comfortable with just yet...
