Oh I wish I could help!!
I miss the public speaking environment. I don't really remember how I got over my fears.
Just try and be in control. Lots of positive thinking. You know what you're doing, so act it that way.
I'm sure you'll do great!
Good luck

Oh I know how you feel - I HATE public speaking but it comes as part of my job (meetings, presentations etc).

Give yourself a pep talk before you go on. These people don't know you. They don't know that you are nervous. You know your subject matter so roll with that. Maintain eye contact and keep it at an even pace.

If all else fails I usually pop a xanax!

Good luck!!
