Failing to prepare is preparing to fail, and I fear that is your problem! You are overwhelmed and don't have a clue where to start.
Now working as an English language teacher I teach students to give presentations to get good exam results and am currently teaching Algerian trainee pilots to give presentations, describe a photo, read a taxt and summarise it and to answer questions on all 3 disciplines.
Use the 4 point plan. Introduction, good points, bad points and conclusion.
What is something you have to share?
With no knowledge of the subject, or your level of English, giving presentations and editing it's hard to say!
Control the room by starting I am xx here to discuss xxx and will answer questions at the end of my presentation.
If necessary send something to everyone in advance again with highlights you want to emphasise or hand something out at the end.
What would it take for you to consider yourself a "Swiftie" like Flavor Flav?
Personally yes, I could as I have worked on sakes and marketing, so gave many presentations on a variety of subjects.
Lots of the writing will be blah blah blah so ignore it. It's the who, where, when, why and how much that counts, usually.
Use diagrams or photos with simple key points
