Give a speech or presentation in front of a large group of people.

“Yesterday was a new experience for me. It was the first time that I spoke at a presentation in a corporate setting. Similar to most people, public speaking doesn’t come naturally to me. I am prone to get nervous, self conscious of the way I pronounce words and lose the direction I am taking the audience to. [...] the audience was not a bunch of indifferent students playing ‘angry birds’ on their phones with only half their attention span tuned to me. The audience consisted of a few managers right up to the senior level and a dozen financial analysts. I would have to say the build up to the presentation was the most nerve racking. Once it started I managed to get into a comfort zone and speak my words relatively well.”

“Nothing I had experienced up to this point compared to giving the infamously coveted and nerve racking best man speech in front of 100s of people. I’ll be the first to admit, I was a periodic ball of nerves for months leading up to this event!! [...] I must have re wrote and fine tuned it ten times in the days leading up. I practiced out loud with my wife for feedback. I practiced by myself to help with my delivery. Still, I felt nervous. I guess this can’t be avoided unless you have actually spoken in front of a crowd of people a ton!! [...] I maybe got three hours of sleep due to restlessness. To top it off, our speech wasn’t until 9:30pm that night!!!”
