Did you just say something to me? No\, I can’t just relax! Performance anxiety is a complex topic that involves how we think\, how we feel\, and how we behave. The results of it may range from mildly discomforting to completely paralyzing. We all want to get it right when it matters most\, whether we are performers\, family members\, or teachers. All of us have something to gain by understanding what happens as we strive to excel. This talk will introduce some of the causes of performance anxiety and will offer some tips on how to do your best under duress.[/expand]
