The world of public speaking is about connection.

Public speaking forces you as the speaker to manufacture connection without significant feedback.

Common means used are: providing bona fides, touching base with the audience throughout, and sending and receiving body language. Connection in public speaking is so hard because the channel is limited and the physical, emotional, and perceptual barriers are very real.

So, when you're standing on stage just relax, take a deep breathe, and make creating your connection the only goal on your mind. Then, your message can follow and fall on more interested ears.
