One of the ideas in the speaking tool is to write out your fears and identify coping strategies for each, particularly those that aren’t rational. Complete this activity. For example, if you write, “I have a lot to cover, and I’ll forget something.” Identify ways to manage that situation; for example, you might add more points on a particular slide, you might include an appendix, or you might tell yourself, “If I forget something, it’s not a disaster. Not everything is critically important, and if I do miss an important point, the audience will ask about it, and then I can address it.”
