Burning Question 2:
How do I get rid of the butterflies?
Scroll down for some ways to make that happen.


Be prepared
  • Know your material
  • Know the facility where you will present
  • Test, test and test again, your A/V or computer generated items
  • Know your audience; and, prepare and present SPECIFICALLY for them

Breath - deeply and deliberately

Deep breathing controls your nerves, enhances your voice and helps you think better.

Move - according to your plan

Whether you plan it or not, your body will move. It will sway, jitter or become staccato if you do not plan for and follow natural movements.

So, here are a couple of ways to fit your movement into your speech.
  • Look and move in a different direction when you move to a new point in your presentation.
  • Walk to the side of the podium or the side of the stage to emphasize a point.


Your body and your nerves will have something real to do; and, so, will not express themselves as knocking knees.
