Talk as though you were talking to a close acquaintance or loved one (in a conversational manner). Look at people in your audience, eye to eye…as though you were conversing with them one by one (as though you were sitting across the table/room from them). Talk straight to one individual for a couple of seconds, then move on to somebody else….and continue repeating this. As a matter of fact, when you do this, you'll feel more at ease as you'll feel like you are speaking to individuals (just like in a conversation) and not to a “group” of individuals. And not only will you seem very surefooted and at ease, your audience will automatically feel easy and relaxed. As a result, they'll be more receptive to your subject matter. (Remember, self-assurance and being comfortable are catching.)
Forever remind yourself that it’s all right to make errors. Provide yourself permission to make errors. It’s perfectly all right. You’re only human. Even the greatest achievers in the world cause them. As a matter of fact, everyone causes them. (Make the decision before hand, before talking in front of any group, that you'll let yourself make Errors…to not look clumsy or foolish.)
Essentially, what I’m advising is that you go out there and do your finest, or give your all, while at the same time, understand that you're willing to forgive yourself (and willing to carry on accepting yourself) whatever the consequence might be.
It doesn't make you a foul individual or a chump if you make errors accidentally. (If you cause it by choice, then that’s another story. Besides, who in their correct mind would “contrive” to make errors beforehand?) Learn from your errors, and then go on.
By presenting yourself permission this way, you'll become more at ease. How come? Because what brings on tension, stress, or jitteriness in the 1st place is when a part of you is stating, “You have to be perfect. You have to accomplish this perfectly.
