Wake up with gratitude on our mind and think of one person to thank for your something they done for you and then -- thank them. Nothing could be a more power presentation than that.
It could be your wife, husband, or some other family member, friend, business associate, or other person who has taken the time to do something nice for you.
Make a habit of this and very likely what will happen. is that other persons will pop into your mind.
That is one way to keep your mind focused on the good in people and positive thoughts -- even when having a difficult day.
For best results make it a whole-hearted expression of thanks. Don't just mumble it under your breath or in a half-heard whisper. A nice warm smile at the same time, if appropriate, wouldn't hurt either.

Keep It Concise
Whether your are writing or speaking remember to keep it concise -- using just enough words to make yourself clear.
And one good way to make sure you do this is to chop out any redundant expressions or words in your presentation -- such as saying: "an unfortunate problem." Are there any "fortunate" problems.
While writing such things tend to creep in unnoticed -- just like that thief sneaking in the window at night. Catch them in the act remembering to review what you have written or tend to say.

But you have never spoken to more than a few people at a time before and never in a formal setting? What are you doing to do?
As some would say, " Just do it!" Get out there and find every opportunity to can find to practice, whether the setting is a debate, a panel discussion, or a large public meeting with a series or speakers.
That is the type of thing that Sir George Bernard Shaw, once a very timid person did and you know how well that worked for this famou playwrites.
