Sit comfortably during the meeting, feet flat and palms in your lap. This prevents you from waving your hands around like a demented windmill and endangering life and limb. You will also present a relaxed and approachable posture; the key to being relaxed is to look relaxed.
It is simple, know your subject, breathe and don"t be late.
