I am usually someone who looks confident, and feels like I can speak out in a crowd if prepared well in advance and know the subject. However often I lose my confidence when interacting with my boss or higher management.

For example if I am in a meeting with my boss's boss and I use a wrong word (e.g. "tested on production environment" instead of "checked against production environment"), my boss's boss makes moves like pulling hair and making it a big deal which freaks me out, especially considering that English is not my first language.

For future I know not to use word "tested on production" but every now and then situation comes where I chose wrong words and get same reaction back.

**In such situations how do I recover from my loss of voice/confidence after being put on spot?**
