LOOK FOR THE EXIT SIGN
When giving a speech in a public setting, speak directly to the red glowing exit sign. It's generally at the back of the auditorium/conference room. It's up high and easy to find. Plus you won't be distracted by looking in to the face of an audience member.

MAKING A SPEECH
If in doubt - slow down. You probably won't go too wrong if you remember to slow down your speech and increase your pauses - even if you feel that you are doing this to an unnatural extent.

OVERCOMING ANXIETY WHILE PUBLIC SPEAKING
Instead of imagining people in their underwear, do not look at anyone directly. Focus on the horizon just above the heads of the people in the last row of the audience.

SPEAK SOFTLY AND BE HEARD
In a noisy room, if you speak softly people will quiet down to hear you speak. Speaking louder only encourages more noise and the message gets harder to deliver.
