lived on Earth at the same time.”

Nervousness
[butterflies in the stomach]
When you are nervous, you body
adjusts by changing your blood
pressure and increasing your
adrenaline level. You turn red,
shake or perspire……..
To compensate, try some physical
actions to relax – take a deep breath.
Make sure you know the room,
audience and materials. Avoid using
unfamiliar equipment especially if it
needs precision motions.
Visualize yourself giving the
presentation, memorize your
introduction and practice, practice,
practice!
