Develop iron strong confidence before you stand up and present?

How do you develop iron strong confidence before you stand up and present?

1. Mind over speaking. Get your mind into gear before your mouth into motion as Annette says. Find yourself a strong visual image that can act as an anchor to help you get into a relaxed physical state. Think of a fun time, enjoyable moment or happy experience and hold this thought.

2. Learn to relax your voice. Start with yawn/sigh where you take a breath in and release with a full yawn on "haaaaaa". This is the start to get your voice into a relaxed state.

3. Develop a warm up routine.
