Presenting Nervously
summary
Advice lists concrete habits that reduce panic: outline during CFP so accepted talks already have a skeleton, practice over and over until timing and phrasing feel automatic, use the speaker ready room and a cup of tea to quiet adrenaline before walking on, curate a few funny slides (cat pictures) to look at on stage, and after exiting put on headphones and take ten minutes of quiet rather than answering questions immediately.
