Film yourself on your phone doing a presentation and watch it back. Rinse and repeat.

Practice, a lot. Ask colleagues if they’d be willing for you to present to them in a room. Ask for feedback. Good luck.

Imagine everyone in the room is naked.

Practicing a lot always helps me. Like a laughable amount (commute, cooking, etc.) so that when it’s time to present it almost feels like autopilot

Practice
Know your first lines off by heart
Know the stage so you know where to stand and where to look before you are in front of the audience
Choose an outfit you know you feel confident in
Don't be afraid of a Xanax or a beta blocker if it's really bothering you

All good advice. In general it’s good for everyone to take a L1 improv class. It’s tons of fun and will get you more comfortable in those situations.

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?

Would a trustee committee for a 401k plan hire a third party cofiduciary to share that risk? Lastly, what additional compensation should the 5500 signor receive when asked to be the trustee for a retirement plan?
