Print your slides and think about key points you want to make with each. Write out a script. Practice your presentation. Actually say the words to each slide a number of times to get it into a rhythm. You will find that you don't go off point, don't read slides, and don't end up saying "um" and other things like that during the presentation. Works for me.

Power pose or superman pose! 10-15 minutes before presentation- hold for a couple of minutes breathe deeply. While in Power pose envision how you want the presentation/meeting/sales pitch to go and you won't be nervous anymore. Works every time!

Lolol p1. For me, it's occupying my mind with other things and not thinking about it. I rarely get nervous but when I do I feel like puking right before and once I'm in the room everything is fine. Just prep and make sure you know your material and then stop thinking about it until the day of

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??
