The world has enough people to do that for you. Don't put yourself down or admit weaknesses. Whatever you point out is what the audience is going to focus on.

Reading
Do no read slides or read to people. It shows you are not sure. If you know the material you can just have a conversation.

Feel
You have to give the audience something they can feel. This can be done in a variety of ways. The easiest is story telling. People remember stories long after facts.
The brain uses 80% on what we feel. Only 20% on what we think.

Think
After they are connected you have to give the audience something to think about. Whatever you are talking about should have a part for people to process.
Insert pauses in the presentation to give people a chance to think. They need to find how they can connect to what you are saying.

Do
You have to give the audience something they can do. Too many people focus just on information. Don't charge a battery and never use it. Give them something to accomplish and they will.
