Need help with public speaking nerves?
Confidence in public speaking comes with speaking regularly. Embrace that you want to be a good public speaker and use any chance, especially smaller audience, less nerve-wracking opportunities. Weddings, town hall meeting, internal company meetings, small webinars, small room presentations, and panels. Participating in panels is a great way to crawl, walk, run - you get to get on stage, speak, learns from others, and build your confidence while being supported by 3-4 other speakers next to your. Then migrate up to doing things like a workshop with 25-40 people on a topic that you know in your sleep. Build your skills, confidence, and figure out what works and doesn't work for you before excepting an invite to speak on a big stage.

Need help with public speaking nerves?
Being nervous before you speak and at the beginning of a presentation is not a bad thing. It means you care about doing well and delivering value to the audience. The goal is to get comfortable at least a few minutes in to your talk. A couple of tips: - Get to the room early, walk the stage, know what mic and clicker you will use; do your slides look good on the screen, are the lights in your eyes? The goal is to eliminate surprises, which can throw even experienced speakers. - Design the opening for you - whether playing a video, telling a personal story, or whatever - find something that gets you comfortable right away so you can relax and focus on the audience and your presentation.

Elon Musk is both unpredictable and very predictable. Pretty much everyone had on their Supercharger layoffs bingo card: "Hires some employees back."
