Presentations – the Day Of
Posted on 08. Dec, 2009 by Jeremy Reis in Presentations
Surveys show that there is a lot of the American population who are more scared of giving a public speech than are afraid of death. I’ve found that if I am properly prepared for a speech or presentation, I can handle the nerves better than if I am ill prepared or feel rushed. It’s important to prepare for a speech and plan the day of your presentation to help calm your nerves and have a successful presentation.
These tips will help you prepare for your next public speaking engagement:
- Get plenty of the rest the night before the speech. Your nervous system will react with poor sleep the night before the presentation.
- Drink plenty of water during the day before you speak. Other drinks, such as milk or cola, can make your throat sore or cause mucus which will make your presentation less pleasant.
- Do not eat too much before your presentation. Eat lightly throughout the day.
- Use the restroom before your speech and make sure you check your appearance such as your tie, hair, and clothes.
Following these tips on the day of a speech or presentation will help calm your nerves for a successful speech!
