I'm experiencing ET at meetings or public places. When I got a chance to do a presentation or speak, my head and hands come to shake continuously. How can I stop this issue? scold doh
In the past, I used to teach students, but now I don't do that. In those days, I didn't have such type of issue.

As a former thespian turned sales and marketing guru (gunslinger), it was my company that would teach house wives who NEVER sold a thing in their life; to sell advertising in print media.
They would be soooooo nervous.
Then I'd tell them " I too get scared. But from my movie and theater days I remember something an interviewer once asked Sir Richard Burton the great Elizabethan actor and husband to Elizabeth Taylor when they asked him 'Do you ever get nervous before you go on stage?"
And this is what he said "Of course I do!"
Then the interviewer asked "Why? You're Richard Burton one of the greatest actors in the world, why would you get nervous?"
And he said this... its something I'll never forget and I will share... he said "Because I just want the audience to like me"
How perfectly candid and honest. We all want to be liked.
You are HUMAN. Embrace it.
You, like Richard Burton... CARE. You care about what they are thinking of you. You care if they will be receptive. You care about yourself and others. What a great if not perfectly normal reaction.

I had home makers who never sold a thing in their lives making $1,000 a week in commissions working 15 hours a week and that was 10 years ago.

If you embrace the fact that you care, you will understand where your nervousness comes from and that IT'S OK.
I would've hired you immediately. And to tell you the truth... I wouldn't have hired you if you weren't nervous. Because being nervous showed me you cared.

I hope that helped, if not... then there's strategy #2: just picture everyone you are talking to in their underwear.
