From stage-shy to world tours: how I trained myself for public speaking
summary
Stage fear turns into a repeatable process: list specific fears, decide motivation is to share what I learned, and prepare with an outline→draft→script pipeline that can take days to four weeks. Build and play with the tech (CRUD checks), record demos as a recorded demo backup, and keep a PDF version of slides plus citations in speaker notes. Live robot demo fails on stage but a prerecorded video rescues the session; avoid complex animations for portability and accessibility, rehearse repeatedly, and answer unknown questions by promising follow-up research.
