Presentation tomorrow - need some help I’ve got a big presentation tomorrow with a room full of around 100 coworkers (and some from the leadership team from our company). The problem is, whenever I am nervous I stutter. And when “I know” I will stutter, I will definitely stutter. I am currently shitting myself as the presentation was forced down on me, and the anxiety of me stuttering is eating me alive. Feeling rock bottom. In the past (previous company) I’ve once made a fool out of myself in front of the entire company already .. couldnt even get one word out. Any advice? I know I can speak and its all in my head. But fuck, I can’t help it.
