Dealing with sweaty palms?

Dealing with sweaty palms?

The single most important thing you can do for sweaty palms is rehearse. The second most important thing you can do for sweaty palms is rehearse. Guess what the third thing is?
Anyone can learn to give a presentation, but to get really good, you need to rehearse. Actors don't go on stage without learning their lines and rehearsing where they will stand; ice skaters don't take to the rink without learning all the moves and going over them again and again. The same goes for giving a presentation. Learn what you're going to say, then rehearse how you're going to say it, where you're going to stand and when to move to the next slide. When you're confident about what to say and how to say it, your sweaty palms will disappear.
