Everybody gets those pre-presentations jitters, but there are ways to control them such as taking deep breaths just while waiting to speak or taking a quick walk around the block or wherever you can go.
But there are better ways such as taking the time to write out your presentation by hand with a pencil or pencil or if you are familiar with technique making that Mind Map of the main points in your introduction -- just before leaving home or the hotel room for your speaking venue.
Learning technique researchers have found that writing things out like this is the best way to learn and remember information.
Once you have done either of these things, on your way to where you are going to be speaking, and after your arrival, while waiting to speak -- visualize yourself making that presentation. Picture yourself (Don't get too carried away in traffic though.) going through your entire presentation: Introduction, Body, and Conclusion -- but especially your introduction.
Once you are through that introduction in an impressive manner the rest of your presentation will be much easier and much more successful.
