Just want to mention Toastmasters for anyone wanting to improve their presentation skills.
I learned there a lot about making presentations FOR the audience.
To PowerPoint or not is just one of many decisions to make depending on the talk and the audience. Sometimes appropriate, sometimes it is not.
At Toastmasters (or at least the club I went to) no PowerPoint was used, but sometimes props were used. Practicing presenting with just your voice is definitely a worthwhile character building experience!
