Summary
Many people feel anxious when delivering a presentation before an audience, and this is perfectly normal. You should probably get worried if you're not a bit nervous. The good news is: a modicum of stress can be good for your presentation. Too much stress, however, can be crippling and hinder your presentation. We will therefore provide some tips and tricks in this chapter to help you manage your stress levels so that they are actually constructive, rather than destructive, for your oral performance. We also provide several exercises to help you get a better grip on your presentation anxiety.
