Key takeaway: It can be helpful to map out in what situations you feel nervous to start to unravel what you are telling yourself and to better prepare for those particular situations. You might be fine in a small group, but terrified in a bigger setting. You might feel ok in one language and not in another. You may find it easier to speak in a formal setting, when you have slides and shy away from the Q&A or panel discussion. Recognising and using the skills you already have help to set you up for success, even when your heart is racing.
