A few quick fixes…
Surf the Web on someone else’s computer (different personalization = different results)
Read stuff you never read.
Explore other countries and cultures online(and do it in real life after you fix your presentation.)
Show others you have the range to coverboth the details and the big picture.
Create a sense of suspense about what you will say or do next.
This is not the way to save your presentation.
