They ASKED you to speak because you are the expert and you have something
to say. So share it.
The audience wants you to
SUCEED!!!
Very rarely will you experience a HOSTILE audience.

What is Confidence?
Confidence is defined “purity of action produced by a mind free of doubt.”
- Katty Kay & Claire Shipman, authors of The Confidence Code: The Science and Art of Self-Assurance

Focus on…• The Context – It’s not about YOU but what you can
do for THEM• Developing a Strategy – what will be your
content/talking points?• The Audience – Nobody wants you to FAIL so
engage with them• Being Less Perfect – Nothing you will say will ever
be FATAL and everyone understands about equipment failure
• Being Simple – less is more and if possible, keep your talk short
• Being Flexible – allow audience to ask questions
