Hi,
This is quite natural, but the fear can be overcome:
1. Be prepared with your subject thoroughly.
2. Anticipate the type of questions they can ask and prepare accordingly.
3. Don't feel yourself to be inferior to anyone.
4. Be bold and don't be afraid to make mistakes.
5. Be polite yet confident.
6. Smile and talk - it indicates confidence and quiets the butterflies in the stomach.
Do your best and forget the rest.
All the best.

Dear Friend,
If you can understand Tamil, then watch "Kurudhi Punal," a Tamil movie by Dr. Padmashree Kamal Haasan. He'll deliver the following dialogue to the villain,
"Do you know what courage is? It is a perfect acting like we don't have fear."
It's true. Most courageous personalities also possess fear, but they overcome it by hiding it behind their success. Forget fear; do your business as if it is your hobby. Definitely, you'll overcome the fear and follow the simple steps as Mr. Riyaz pointed out, especially his last point, "Do your best and forget the rest." I strongly believe in that.
"துயர் பெற்றவர் பெறாதவர்
துயர் பெறாதவர் பெறும்"
Hope you'll come back here after overcoming your fear and succeeding in your business.
"தன்னம்பிக்கை மனம் விசாரித்து செயல்படுத்துக;
செயல்படுத்தி நிறைந்தால் தன்னம்பிக்கை நிச்சயம் இல்லாது."
All the best.

Dear Friend,
In my opinion, just believe in yourself that you are more perfect than your boss in proposing issues. You are the one and only who can handle and proceed with the project, so don't fear facing your boss because you are the boss in your field.

Dear Khifah,
Fear will always be there even if you are in the business for decades! But Riyaz has provided quality and practical inputs. Thanks. To Riyaz's list, I would like to add 2 more points:
1. It is perfectly okay to admit that you do not have the answers to their questions BUT promised them that you will get back with the answers soon. Once you promised, MAKE SURE YOU DO JUST THAT! This adds honesty, sincerity, and credibility.
2. Smile, talk, and LISTEN - you need to listen attentively in order to understand their needs before you can provide them with suitable solutions.
Personally, I do 1 more thing, i.e. I will say a little prayer asking for "Wisdom of thoughts, Wisdom of speech, and Wisdom of action to successfully complete the meeting". :)

For out of the world we find, Success begins with a fellow's will - It's all in the state of mind. If you think you are outclassed, you are. You've got to think high to rise, You've got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize.

Hi,
As Mr. Riyaz has already mentioned some of the helpful points, in addition to that, you can do the following:
1. Practice in front of the mirror.
2. Should have done your homework well and have a good hold over the subject.
3. Thinking that you do not need to hesitate or be afraid as they are very senior to you, so you have a scope of making mistakes (but of course should avoid mistakes).
4. Try to start a conversation with the topic you are more confident in, so that you can start off confidently and will get less nervous.

Hi,
Thank you, Asha, Rashee, and Autumn Jane, for the acknowledgments. All of you have added very worthwhile points. The principle I tell my students is that "Don't Fear Seniors/Elders - Respect them." Just imagine that the seniors/bosses are there to help you and guide you. Treat them as friendly elders. I think if you follow all the tips given by all the nice people in this forum, your problem will be solved.
Have a nice day!!

You may be aware that fear is due to low confidence (state of mind), which is controlled by the moon. Hence, make your moon strong by drinking milk or curd kept in a silver bowl or glass. You will be able to feel the difference.

Many of our present fears are rooted in our distorted ways of looking at ourselves and the world around us.
Fear itself doesn't cause anxiety – the fear of fear is what causes anxiety.
Face your fear squarely. There is no point in making half-hearted attempts.
Recognizing and understanding fear is the first step toward overcoming it.
Knowing the root cause of fear is very important because only then will you be able to find the right solution to the problem.
Finding the root cause will boost your confidence to a great extent. Your fear will nearly vanish at this point.
Do a sincere and honest "SWOT" analysis to understand your strengths and weaknesses.
If you feel insecure due to the fear of failure, you can read self-help books to get rid of negative thoughts and become self-confident.
