Typically, when asked to do a presentation, everyone is all on-board!

Yes! Let's get this done! I got this, this is going to be a piece of cake!!!

Go over what is supposed to be presented.

Find information, Think Positive, and Get Shit DONE!

Right? And then finally, ace the presentation.

.....

How many of us can actually say that this is how it goes?

Immediately there is a sense of anxiety and fear when the word P R E S E N T A T I O N appears.

Personally, my heart speeds up, I look around the class and wonder if anyone else is feeling what I am feeling.

D R E A D. F E A R. A N X I E T Y. H A T R E D!

I feel like the crowd has zeroed in on me and the only way for me to go back to being ignored... is to get over this presentation!

The very thing that I learned about presenting is 3 key factors:

Think P O S I T I V E. Thinking negatively will not help anybody -- especially you -- if you think that everything will go wrong.

I G N O R E the A U D I E N C E. The audience will not help you with your grade nor with your presentation. So who CAARES.

And finally, you cannot perfect the flaws, however, practice and reciting everything that is designed helps a BUNCH.

That is the only and best way to get things done and over with because presentations suck, and the only way to succeed is to think about what it will feel like to finally get this shit over with.
