If you want to take your presentations to the next level, I suggest these things:

• Find a local Toastmasters club,
• Read this book and Presentation Zen, and
• Practice, practice, practice!

The author is a noted presentation guru who runs her own design company.  If you want to engage your audience, this book will help.  This book will show you a way to create exceptional presentations.  The book has multiple sections, along with short examples of real people and real presentation material reproductions.

One recommendation is to spend more time speaking and less time focusing on the presentation materials; this is why I suggest Toastmasters.  This book will help you blend your presentation materials into your speech to help you deliver a clear message.
