Prepare a 1-minute summary of the main point(s) of your presentation.
Ask yourself: What does the audience already know, and what do you need to tell them, so that they can understand your story?
What supporting material can make the presentation more interesting -- or easier to understand?

Structure your presentation:

Main Part: Tell your story; use supporting props.
Wrap Up: Repeat the main point(s) that you want your audience to remember.

Knowing that you are well prepared: be confident in your presentation.
