I do public speaking every day. I hate to say it but the way to get better at it is to do it a lot.

A couple of things that helps me... speak slowly. To you it sounds super slow, to everyone else it sounds perfect.

I pretend that I am an actor stating lines... not me.. this helps take the embarrassment to me out of the situation.

Start every presentation with a joke. You can google these. It is a way of instantly getting the audience on your side.

Try not to look directly at the audience but look at the last row. To the audience it looks like you are looking at them but your eyeline is just above them.

Keep at it, you have to practice. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Trust me, I am a super introvert but after 14 years in my position I have zero fear of public speaking.
