You need to create a presentation you would want to listen to yourself; I find this a great check before presenting.

For example if my powerpoint has 10 slides I usually start off saying.... "Hi everyone my name is Neil Patel. Today I am going to be giving a speech about X. To make it easy for you to follow along, I made the presentation in a list format with 10 points. And for those of you who don't like the presentation, at least you know how many slides are left."
