When you are a non-native speaker, there are many reasons you may not feel confident when delivering a presentation:
- Your presentation is in English, but you are thinking in your native language.
- You are anxious about your grammar or pronunciation.
- You are self-conscious of your accent.
- You are concerned that your audience may not fully comprehend what you are saying.
