Start by reading your speech out loud without anyone around so you get used to giving your presentation. When you get more comfortable speaking to yourself, find family members or close friends that will listen in a private setting. Ask for any feedback and try your presentation multiple times until you feel comfortable in a group. Work your way up to presenting in front of a large group. Try speaking to 1 person and gradually increase how many people you invite to listen. If you can, use a microphone similar to what you'd use at the final presentation. Make sure any electronics you're using during your presentation work and that all distractions are turned off. Look over any note cards or documents you're using to make sure everything is in the correct order. If you need to, make adjustments with a pen and highlighter so you can easily see them while presenting. Do your best to memorize as much of your speech as possible just in case you leave your notes at home or there are technical difficulties. If your speech relies on visuals, make sure to practice explaining what your pictures or graphs are in case the projector doesn't work. When you get nervous, your body will feel tight and stiff. Stretch your arms, back, and legs 15 minutes before you're supposed to give your presentation so you don't feel as tense. If you're feeling antsy, try shaking your arms out to relieve the stress If you have to give a longer presentation, look at the time you're speaking in 5-minute chunks. Memorize the moments in your speech that happen every 5 minutes when you're practicing. This way, instead of worrying about the entire speech, you only have to focus on what you're saying for a small increment of time. If you're calm during the first 5 minutes of your speech, you'll maintain that feeling for the rest of your speech. As you're delivering your speech, it's easy to speak too fast because you're nervous. When you feel like you're rushing through your speech, pause and take a breath before continuing so you can slow down. Be careful not to speak too slow or your audience may find the speech boring. Aim to speak at approximately 190 words per minute to keep a steady, but effective pace to your speech. Focus on your speech rather than any technical issues that may occur. If your microphone stops working, set it down and just continue with a louder voice. If you had a projector or a slideshow, continue on the parts of your speech that don't require any visuals. Avoid getting stressed out over technical issues since the people working behind the scenes will be working on the problem. Don't draw attention to your nervous feelings since it could distract the audience from the main point of your presentation. Instead, continue with your speech like everything is fine. Make sure to say thank you at the beginning and end of your presentation so your audience knows that you appreciate them. Showing gratitude can also help show people that you are confident and makes your speech stand out more. If you're giving a presentation where other coworkers or people helped you, make sure to thank them during your speech so you give them credit.

Article: Choose an adhesive designed specifically for tub surrounds, which comes in a tube. Cut the tip off the tube and load it into a caulk gun. Press the gun's trigger to spread the adhesive in a zigzag pattern, then smooth it out into a thin, even layer with a trowel. The adhesive sets quickly. If your surround comes in multiple pieces, focus on installing 1 section at a time. Spread more adhesive once you finish installing the first panel. Lift up the surround and fit it against the wall according to the guidelines you marked. Make sure it is flush against the wall. If your surround comes in sections, apply each panel individually, fitting them together. The easiest way to install panels is usually by starting with the side panels. Place the back panel next, then finish with the corner panels. Fit new accessories you purchased or return old pieces you had to remove during the installation process. Place the accessories according to your bathroom and its unique layout. Some faucets, for instance, fit on a backplate you fit to the wall first. Others attach directly to bathtubs or a pipe on the floor. For specialty accessories like grip bars and soap holders, you may need to drill holes in the surround. Screw the accessory brackets to support beams behind the surround to prevent them from coming loose. To find the support beams, use a wall stud finder. If the holes you make in the surround are too big, the accessories won't fit properly. You can fill in small gaps with caulk. If the gaps are so big the accessories don't fit tightly against the wall, you may need to start over with a new surround. Leave the surround alone until it adheres properly to the wall. When you come back to work on the tub the next day, make sure the panels feel impossible to remove. If they wiggle at all, they aren't properly bonded to the wall. Apply more adhesive to stick them in place. If the surround is loose, water may seep behind it or it may fall down, which can cause a lot of damage. Get a bottle of waterproof silicone caulk and load it into a caulk gun. Cut the tip off and press the trigger to shoot caulk directly into any spaces that need to be filled. Then, after letting the caulk dry for 24 hours, turn on the water supply to enjoy your new surround. You will need to squeeze a bead of caulk between the tub and the bottom of the surround. If your surround came in panels, also put caulk between each panel. While you have caulk available, spread a bead of caulk underneath fixtures like the faucet escutcheon to waterproof it.
