Taking the time to prepare your presentation with a strong opening and compelling visual aids can help you feel more confident. Other ways to improve your self-confidence include practicing positive self-talk, surrounding yourself with positive people, and avoiding comparing yourself (or your presentation) to others. Develop strategies for overcoming fear: Many people are nervous or fearful before giving a presentation. Strategies like deep breathing, practicing your presentation, and grounding can help you transform that fear into extra energy to put into your stage presence. Learn grounding techniques: Grounding is any type of technique that helps you steer your focus away from distressing thoughts and keeps you connected with your present self. Learn how to use presentation tools: Visual aids and other technical support can transform a normal presentation into a worthy one. A few popular presentation tools include: Canva :  Provides easy-to-design templates you can customize Powtoon :  Animation software that makes video creation fast and easy PowerPoint:  Microsoft's iconic program popular for dynamic marketing and sales presentations Practice breathing techniques: Breathing techniques can help quell anxiety, making it easier to shake off pre-presentation jitters and nerves. It also helps relax your muscles and get more oxygen to your brain.  Gain experience: The more you practice, the better you’ll become . Repeatedly practicing your own presentation also offers the opportunity to get feedback from other people and upgrade your style and content as needed.
