Rehearsal leads to preparation...

• Rehearsal is the key to relaxing a nervous
  performer. The more you try to rehearse away
  from an audience, the easier the performance will
  be with an audience.
• Relaxation techniques are also a good choice to
  prepare for a presentation.
• Breathing Exercises
• Visualization Exercises
• Positive Self-Talk

Preparation leads to confidence

• No one is born with confidence. It is developed
  through practice and experience.
• Remember that you are human and that you can make
  mistakes.
• If you do make a mistake or stumble over your
  words, smile, take a deep breath and continue as
  though nothing happened.
