I've found that most of the time, unless you don't shower, perceptions are merely internalized terror, rather than external truth. If you struggle to present then the only thing you really need is practice. There is also something to be said about the skill to move through awkward pauses and unexpected reactions. I always use very light self-deprecating humor which is always good for a chuckle from most and it breaks the tension when the room is not going your way. And that might be it. There's too much ice. Break it with humor and don't take things personally. Every person is weird in their own way.
