Giving talks

 

In my view, the number one things is to know that about 95% of speakers get nervous, even very experienced professors who you would never imagine getting nervous. (I know since I always sit in the front row.) The key is to channel your nervousness into useful energy/excitement for the topic. Focus outwards, on helping your audience understand what you're explaining.
