Ah yes, well try this. Next time you feel the need to give direct eye contact... think of two random 3-4 digit numbers and try to multiply them in your head (while your talking to the person or group.) It's a method technique that works well, to get you to be more relaxed on stage; should work perfect for this situation as well. You must then find the save balancing point between staying on subject in your conversation and calculating the number. You won't have any time to be nervous if you are fully devoted to figuring out the calculation. It will also make you look very focused and involved in the conversation.
