Might have been test anxiety set off by the presence of your bosses. Wish I knew how to fix test anxiety. My friend isn’t doing so hot in class atm.

Avoid eating mom's spaghetti prior to performance.

Honestly we’re all human even the people you’re adressing. No one expects you to be perfect so if you have a brain fart up there maybe crack a joke about it or let them know. It eases up the anxiety you’re probably feeling, and gives you a quick break from the presentation to gather your thoughts while still engaging the audience. I wouldn’t stress too hard about it. Sometimes you can come off too wound tight if you’re worried that others won’t think you’re perfect and we can sense that. Realistically you’re more relatable when you do have things like brain farts you can use that as a way to relate to the people you’re talking to. You said you aced the presentation twice before that so you know the material and you know what you’re talking about. Be confident in yourself and don’t sweat the small stuff.

Good support and advice here. Thanks, mates. I've got another one of these in November, so we'll see how that goes.

Prefer to not go the chemical dependency route, though. I do some dabbling on my own time but I am absolute shit at hiding whenever I'm on something. Drooling during presentations might be frowned upon.

The only conditions in which I can successfully publicly speak (ie present so well I get positive feedback for it):

1. I've had a lot of time to prepare a hilarious presentation

2. I know my shit about the topic really really well

3. Benzodiazepines

I imagine this is true for most introcucks
