When you are called upon to make a formal or semi-formal presentation there are a couple of things you can do in preparation which will make the task a lot simpler for you.
First: Define the purpose of your presentation. In other words: what are you trying to achieve with it. If you don't know what your objective is in making this presentation, how can you expect your audience to know? If the presentation in question isn't really yours (if you are delivering a corporate message for example, rather than speaking from personal experience) then you need to sit down with the person who 'volunteered' you and get them to tell you what the objective is. Trying to deliver a message without knowing the purpose is like driving somewhere but not knowing where you need to be. A lot of miles can be covered hoping to bump into a recognisable destination.
Second:..actually, I think I'll leave the second thing for later. Call it a cliffhanger ending...which I wouldn't advise when you're making that presentation.
