あせって (焦って)

This was on a poster selling English lessons (context: 英語でのプレゼン、上手く話そうと思えば思うぼど焦って上手く話せなくなる。) and in it's context should mean "in a hurry" or something right? with irration conotations because the base word (あせる - 焦る) means 'to be impatient about something' (thus あせらないで means 'take it easy') woot!
