13. Smiling works The acts of smiling (and other emotions) are handled by a lower, more primitive part of our brains. If you physically smile the lower brain tells the upper brain that you are happy. It is a simple way to improve the way you feel.
15. Tell yourself out loud “I am a great presenter... I can do this...” Repeat this a number of times
16. Self-conscious? If you don’t want to tell yourself out loud how good you are there is an alternative Use music as your mantra Find your favourite motivational, up-beat track and make sure you play this before you present
