Good stuff here! Here's some disparate, but good advice I've received over the years: 1. Imagine your audience is comprised of people you love and are excited to see and spend time with. This is the opposite of the whole picture-your-audience-naked thing, and tends to actually put you in the right frame of mind: calm, kind, genuine. 2. Practice pre-speaking breathing exercises. Controlled exhalation tends to calm the spiking physiological events that come with nervousness (e.g. increased heart rate, shaky voice, sweating). If you can practice this often before you speak, you can quickly calm those physical responses when you actually need to. 3. Prepare and Review... your audience. A core principle of teaching is that education is mostly review. In your presentation, always begin by preparing your audience for what you are going to teach them, review material at key points before you move on to other things, then review everything again before you conclude. Never give your audience an opportunity to get lost. 4. Don't over-estimate what your audience knows (this tends to come with under estimating the value of what you know and are going to share). Take time to build concepts and review them and you build your arguments. Keep it simple. No jargon. 5. Don't underestimate what your audience knows. Balance your material with a solid foundation of simple, approachable stuff and pepper it with things that stretch your audience's minds. The balance is key here, but never assume your audience is not smart enough to track with you. That's just off the top of my head...
