When education speakers enter a stage they know they are not perfect and they do fear the audience's rejection, but there is one thing they do differently from you: they never emphasize their mistakes and they never confess their fears to the audience.

1. How to Overcome Public Speaking Fear – Tips From Professional Speakers
From a psychologist's point of view, the fear of public speaking is universal. Mark Twain also
believed this and he often said there are two types of speakers: those who get anxious and
those who lie about their nervousness. If we take a look at statistics, many people rate fear of
public speaking as the top fear, before death, heights and even in-laws. But it is also the
easier fear to overcome, especially when you have the advice from the professionals.
Be Imperfect and Happy About It
Humans are not perfect and this is good news, as perfection would make us boring.
When education speakers enter a stage they know they are not perfect and they do fear the
audience's rejection, but there is one thing they do differently from you: they never emphasize
their mistakes and they never confess their fears to the audience. They embrace the fact people
are going to judge each and every step they make and word they say, so they go ahead with
the presentation. Confidence can be acted and after a couple of minutes of being confident and
speaking to the audience, you will be able to go with the flow and nail the presentation right to
the end. Before you ask, professional speakers do make mistakes, and then they take a deep
breath and carry on, like nothing happened. The takeaway: don't expect to be perfect, just go
there and do your best.
Public Speaking Is Not Your Only Skill
Way too many people judge their overall performances by their ability to speak in front of an
audience. This is very, very wrong and dangerous to do. If you need to present something to
an audience you are already a performer in your field, as only great professionals are asked to
hold presentations. Apart from having great presentation skills speakers are intelligent, have
lots of work and life experience and many of them are leaders in innovation when it comes to
their job. These are the skills one must judge himself or herself by, not the anxiety which
comes around when you need to speak to an audience, so never look down at you because you
can't hold a presentation. Yet! This leads us to the next point...
Practice, Practice And Practice Some More

2. The more you practice your public speaking, the better you will become at it, so you have to
work on holding more presentations. You can also spend time looking at how education
speakers structure their presentations and how they act on the stage. If you look good, you will
discover a couple of useful tricks you can apply to your own presentations. And make sure you
rehearse your presentations, to make sure you know the structure of the speech.
Write Your Presentation Support Wisely
There is no point in writing loads of words on your slides: the less is more, so keep the slides as
light as possible. One or two phrases are enough to remember you what you should be talking
about. One of the most important presentation skills of speakers is the ability to develop one
short idea into a chapter. This also relieves you from the stress of remembering large chunks of
text and allows you to be fluent and natural in your speech. However, the ideas must be
original and they have to belong to you, otherwise, you won't be able to develop them.
Before a speech is good to be nervous, as long as you can channel that nervousness into
speech energy. Most professional speakers use their anxiety to create a charming energy for
their speech, which can engage the audience and provide “fuel” for the presenter himself.
