Presentation Anxiety
Presentation anxiety is the experience of feeling an intense moment of fear or panic before and/or during a presentation.
You may find it hard to concentrate, to think clearly, to sleep and to eat.
Feeling anxious about a presentation is normal, especially if you struggle with public speaking. Presentation anxiety can usually be overcome with time and practice.
