How do you calm your nerves before a big client meeting? When I get anxious knowing I’m presenting... I just tell myself: nobody will remember this in a few days. How do you do it?

Just takes experience. You do it enough and you stop caring as much. Not that your performance reflects an attitude of not caring, mentally the nerves will just go away. Took me probably a year or two of public speaking experiences during university. Don’t worry mate, it’ll improve overtime.

Make sure you have 2-3 hours of quiet time before the meeting. Read the deck. Present the deck. Out loud. The questions will become obvious to you. Ask your team / figure out the the answers. Make the notes on your paper copy.

You’ll then be ready, you’ll have rehearsed, you’ll have the answers not in the deck at your fingertips, you’ll have visualized a good outcome.
