Begin with a Smile

A smile relaxes both you and the audience. It helps to chase away nervousness. Showing a smile in your face hides your nervousness. When you smile, you look more relaxed and confident, and when you are confident, people are more inclined to believe what you say.

Dress Professionally

Appropriate dressing is very important. A well-dressed and groomed appearance can do wonders for that first impression. Keep yourself fit in your dressing. Now is not exactly the time to make a fashion statement, so a tastefully-chosen professional outfit, with suitable accessories like a hand-bag or brief-case should be fine. Make yourself comfortable in the dress.

Create in Your Mind

Much of our time is spent habitually visualizing what may go wrong in a future situation. This may increase your nervousness. It can also give you the results you imagined - or feared - through self-fulfilling predictions. If you think you will fail, then you are making it a whole lot harder for yourself to succeed.

Imagining in an optimistic way is definitely a more useful and pleasant way to spend some time with your imagination. Now, you may think that visualizing this way is just improbable, but seeing in a pessimistic way is just as improbable. Either way, you are imagining what may happen in a possible future scenario. Doing it in a negative way may just feel more realistic because that's what people around you are doing or because it's what you've been doing every day for the last few years.
