Fellow speaker,
To lessen your nervousness onstage, intead of focusing your energy inside you, focus your energy out. Instead of inwardly focusing on you: how you are going to look, what you are going to do, how well you talk, etc., focus outwardly on the audience: making sure they get your point, understand why it is important, take some valuable new point of view home with them after your speech, etc.
Outwardly,
