Speaking in front of a smaller group is different than speaking on a
large stage. Hearing your own voice over the speakers, being elevated
above your peers with all eyes on you in an unfamiliar environment
these factors pull you out of your comfort zone and can trigger a

blank, either in the middle of the presentation or while fielding
tough questions from the audience. So what can you do to prevent this
fear from becoming a reality? Bring notes. They can make a big
difference in the delivery of a presentation, especially if its your
