This may sound hokey and stupid, but don't be afraid to PRACTICE the things that you want to say, especially if they don't come naturally to you. Role-playing (when no one is around to look at you like you're wack-o, of course!) can really help make you confident in tense moments. It did for me!!!
An excellent recommendation. This is a great tool for building confidence and ensuring your thoughts are together.
