Good presentation tips abound on the interwebs. If you want real help, a lot more context of your presentation is needed. To client or internal? With slides or not? Nature of material? Length? How large of an audience? Prior presentation experience?

It is not the end of the world. Just remember this one tip.

like

Watch your "Uhhs and umms".
Be mindful of speed.
Emphasize important points.
Make eye contact.
Pause for processing/comprehension.
Ask for questions every so often especially if someone looks lost.
Don't use a podium.
If you have slides, do NOT read from them.

That's all I've got for now.
