Repeat to yourself several times what you want to say, analyze the plan you want to implement several times.
Β
Make notes, mind maps, write down the points, or write down the entire speech. Imagine the best versions of your speech and simply practice several times, so that you know what you want to say, in what order it should be, and how much time exactly the whole thing takes you.
Β
Everything will be easier if your brain gets used to it, then you will have real support in your head because there will be inter-neuronal connections about your speech!
