A few hours before your presentation, get some exercise going. Go for a jog, play a sport, get active. Exercise is a great way to burn off extra cortisol - also known as the 'Stress Hormone' that can heighten your emotions and limit your creativity.
Burn it off and ease the pressure.
Get Presenting.
