10 Mistakes People Make with Public Speaking (plus 1 bonus):
1. Expect no "butterflies" to be present.
2. Say, "Um," a lot.
3. Allow emotions to be controlled by audience.
4. Try to be someone they're not.
5. Think they can just show up without much prep.
6. Over practice.
7. Don't get a good night's sleep.
8. Don't eat a good meal before (go on an empty stomach).
9. Apologize for themselves.
10. Note a flub (mistake they make) during a speech / as they're speaking (most people won't notice).
BONUS Beat themselves up afterwards if they feel they failed (pick yourself up and move on instead).
