My tip would be don't over-prepare. Because when people are nervous about something like speaking, they practice and practice and practice and prepare and prepare and it gets the point where you're undermining your own confidence because if you keep going at it and keep rehearsing it and keep going over it and keep your the message you're giving to yourself is I don't know this, I don't know this, it's not going to be any good.
