Performing in front of an audience, struggling with words, making slides, running demos that fail - everything and anything can go awry. But it's all a matter of perspective. Finding joy in speaking, using tried and true methods and tricks, and taking on a mindset of improvement rather than perfection can get you further faster and happier. Even better: your audience will appreciate it more.

It might be about attaining perfection in your presentation. But more likely, it's about trying not to suck.
