Presenting naked is about removing the unnecessary to expose what is important

Tips

• Find time alone for creativity and clarity
• Know your audience! 
• Show benefits for the audience, from their point of view
• Influence a change, Sell something, Think: “Active Listeners”

The presentation itself

• Never start with an apology (nervous, time, preparation,… appear professional)
• Keep it simple (Goals, messages, slides)
• Split presentation in 10min chunks
• Save the Best for the last

Presentation style

• Tell a story (Contrast & emotions)
  “What do you think happened next”  <- Rhetoric question
• Use “B” in PowerPoint
• Involve the audience

As per my other tumble: Great leaders tell great stories Book Review
and Steve Denning’s tips about StoryTelling
here are 6 great tips for a story

1. Try to pick the most intriguing place in your piece to begin
2. Try to create attention-grabbing images of a setting if that’s where you want to begin
3. Raise the reader’s curiosity about what is happening or is going to happen in an action scene
4. Describe a character so compellingly that we want to learn more about what happens to him or her
5. Present a situation so vital to our protagonist that we must read on
6. And most important, no matter what method you choose, start with something happening! (And not with ruminations. A character sitting in a cave or in jail or in a kitchen or in a car ruminating about the meaning of life and how he got to this point does not constitute something happening.)
