Tips for Presentations:
Tip No 1: Pretend that there is no one around or even better still, pretend that you are presenting to a bunch of animals in the zoo, whom are busy munching on their hays..

Tip No 2:If you cant convince them, Confuse them, use alot of Jargon words, make use of the dictionary, at the end of the presentation ask your audience any questions, betta they would just nod their head and look Blur.

Tip No 3: Just look cool, even though deep down inside..your legs are turning jelly.Recognize that stress is natural: It helps you sort out which situations are "dangerous" and which are not. The problem occurs when presenters allow their minds to dwell on the stress rather than on the situation. They become short of breath, the brain doesn't get enough oxygen, and tension sets in. Most presenters manage to remain below the panic level -- avoiding the fight/flight syndrome -- and most survive each experience. However, there's more to life than mere survival.See above are whole lots of medical terms shits....so which means EVERYONE HAS PRESENTATION JITTERS, which eventually labels us as NORMAL.
