to-face with a lion
Any longer & our dear
Red- Eye would be lion food.
Consider a second scenario:
Red-Eye sees a lion about to
pounce on his child...
How much time would he
have to make a decision to
fight the lion?
Survival in the wild

Our brain developed
It developed, what we now call the

Once the nerves settle down, we get
more comfortable.
Often, it’s in the first few moments of
a presentation that one feels intense
nervousness.
(Here’s what you can do)
(This will allow you a strong opening &
help you overcome nerves)
Prepare thoroughly;
This eliminates the fear of being left
stumped by difficult questions, thus
calming your nerves a bit more
