First, take a deep breath and understand that a good manager / senior probably already knows you don’t know what you’re doing, and that’s okay. Take the mistakes as opportunities to learn. Pay attention to the story that they trying to tell because that will be the basis for most of your projects as you move up. Be proactive and try to make your mistakes earlier from the deadline.
Ask around for used decks around your firm, no need to reinvent the wheel.
I’m on the same boat rip
This is child’s play. SAP has those decks templated somewhere.
Make them love teams attachments so your M or SM can leave comments. You won’t have to deal with version control.

Don’t worry. No one expects consultant to do all the thinking. But get ahead with simple things -
1. Search intranet for similar deliverable templates. Key things you are looking for is interview guides and output deliverable formats. Also ask your project leaders for same or best contact to reach out to
2. Now that you have some samples, spend time to storyboard. Most leaders fail to start from the end and usually result in rework later. Your storyboard won’t be accurate but you will get your project team start talking on what they need
3. Be present in note taking and connecting the dots
4. Groom your analyst if you have one on formatting asks.
If you find yourself stressed, ask for guidance from next level. Keep going up a level till you get meaningful direction.

Also as M1 said - fail early. That is the key with these short run projects
1. check in after every couple of slides or so to make sure it’s on the right track. this prevents you from having to redo something from the start and losing steam
2. focus on content before design
3. put placeholder text of what you THINK should go in a place to let managers know where you’re struggling
4. create a system to map back info to the original source of info. Worst thing to happen is when the deck is reviewed by 3 people and everyone’s asking where a piece of info came from.
