Eleder - Big Secret! Just be the way you are and it will be perfect. It is also true that if you try to be something different (than what you are) everybody will see through it. The real you is the real deal - Nervous or not. If you feel nervous just say so. Won't hurt when you walk into the circle to say something like - This is really different! Don't make a big deal out of it, but just saying so can make you feel easier along with everybody else. One thing not to do - Try to hide at the edge of the circle. You will be found!
For myself I walk all over the place, Look people in the eye. I even sit down next to somebody and make my opening into a conversation with them. Just don't take too much time. The real point is to get out of the way so the people can get to work.

How do you feel speaking from the centre for, let's say, 15 minutes when opening space? There's a small issue that makes me a bit uneasy: just knowing that I'll be all the time showing my back to some attendees. Do you walk a bit around to avoid it? What about looking at people's eyes when speaking? Do you do it consciously one by one around the circle? Do you perhaps look far away just to keep calmer? What are the rituals that help you enjoy this moment instead of feeling nervous? Those are some of the questions that are coming to my mind during the preparation of my next OS, next Friday.
