How do you get rid of nerves?

Question:

Perhaps its lack of confidence. But I get quite nervous at work if I have to meet important bosses. I just want everything to go well.

But the only problem is that sometimes my nerves go beyond the butterfly stage and I end up feeling that I'm going to be sick. Does anyone else have this problem? If so, how do you get round it? Also how do you build up your self-confidence?

Answers:
I used to feel the red blush creeping up my neck to my face and so wore polo neck jumpers to meetings!
It will take time to gain more confidence, ask your boss for a 3 monthly review, if he/she is happy with your work he/she will tell you, and you will gain confidence. Ask work or pay to go on an assertiveness course, these are anything from 1 to 3 days, you will do learn lots of different coping mechanisms to help.

Make sure you are prepared for the meetings so that you know everything will go well. And at the start of the meeting, remind yourself that nobody will die if its not perfect, so what is the big deal (presuming they won't that is).

if you find out please can you tell me
