It’s an hour before your speech, you're rustling though notes, hoping that no one is going to heckle you for any minor excuse, or pull you up to correct you over a technicality.
You're so busy trying to anticipate what may go wrong, that you forget to focus on what you want to go right.
You may be nervous, nauseous, have a stomach full of butterflies. You're pacing around the floor in the vain hope that you can distract yourself from your perceived insecurity.
