What can i do? they're all so amazing!?

-I dont know how i managed it but i am speaking at a national conference in September and im terrified. I am the youngest person ever in my job role and will be talking & taking questions from scholars, amazing brainiacs and real "professionals" in their feilds. These ppl i look up to, aspire to be like, i dont feel like i have a right to be up there. It is no help that im a sucky public speaker too.



What am i gonna do????????Public speaking is probably one of everyone's fears! It is rare to find a person who doesn't get super nervous when in front of a crowd where all eyes are on you. This sounds like the chance of a life time for you! I don't think you would have gotten the gig if you weren't the perfect person for it. My advice to you is to come up with every possible question you think they could ask you about what ever topic you will be speaking about. Rehearse answers in your head. You never know what they could ask, but at least being some what prepared could never hurt.



Good luck!
