  • Walk gently and confidently to the podium, collecting your thoughts on the subject, as you go.
  • On reaching the podium settle yourself before the mike, pause for a while and make eye contact with the entire audience.
  • If you are not able to speak to the point immediately, repeat or summarise one or two points made by earlier speakers.
  • This would give you time and strength to proceed further.
