I write out a brief script. It’s lame but it helps me communicate clearly and not get taken over by nerves, especially when I wfh and can have the script on the screen in front of me. I keep it brief and remind myself that most people will listen politely and forget every word very quickly. I agree it is stressful.

^This. No one will remember what you said 5 minutes later. And really pay attention to how others introduce themselves. It has helped me realize that others are also nervous (and sometimes boring) as hell.

Never thought I’d say this, but virtual happy hours are WAY worse than hanging out with your team in a bar. At least in person you can circulate.
