I am not the world's best public speaker, but I do enjoy it. Some of the things that have made me better at it include realizing:
* I will always be nervous before a performance.
* The audience doesn't know what I'm about to say, so they don't know if I "screw up" most of the time.
* Live demos will go wrong. :)
* Talking to 30 people is actually easier than talking to 3 people, because you don't have to pay individual attention to anyone.
The worst part for me anymore is preparing the slide decks.

What's so bad about preparing the deck?
Nothing, really. It's just time consuming and tedious.
