One of the things that throws people off is when it’s their turn, for some reason they feel like they need to rush. It’s, “oh, I gotta get up here and… blah blah…” No, you don’t. When you get up here, take your sweet ass time.
When people say it’s hard for me to do something, I always use this example. If I took a wad of thousand dollar bills and I placed it on the counter over there, and I said, “I want you to speak louder”, you could do it. Even if you’re very anxious you can do it; it’s just getting used to pushing that button so that you don’t get in that position where you’re up there, you’re winded and the voice is trembling. You come out, and it’s, “ladies and gentleman!”, you just bust out of it even though you’re feeling that anxiety.
I don’t know if there’s any strategy you can use after you’ve lost your train of thought; you’ve lost your train of thought. The key to this is to have so much exposure that the likelihood of blanking out diminishes greatly and to be prepared in the right way so that you feel like you control the material. The way you do that is to visualize it and use examples, rather than stringing together information. So if I ask you to describe your commute here this morning, you don’t need notes because you can see it, right? So, that’s the key. It’s very difficult to blank out when you can actually visualize it. The strategy is in the preparation, not after your blank out.
Accept you will have the fear so when you come into the situation you're not surprised by it. You're here to say, "go ahead, I can take it". Trying to calm yourself down is a waste of time.
You don't need to be perfect.
