Before sending the presentations in or presenting them, please check the following:

Make sure your presentations either tells a story (personal, interesting) or reaches a certain exact goal (deliver information, educate, entertain, get investments, etc)
Fact-check the points in the presentations and provide citations where possible
Provide streamlined styling, use the same and large fonts, clear logos
Check the 6x6 rule (not more than 6 rows on content on the slide, not more than 6 words in each row)
Make sure that font size is large enough to read from huge distance on small screen. Basically, make the font as large as possible, and then size it down by 1 or 2 steps. Ideally, the fonts should not be smaller than 18 pt, with small exceptions
The presentation slides should not include the text that you're saying. If you need to add some text that you like to practice, use Speaker's notes
If adding pictures, consider adding one full-screen picture or two side-by-sides, so it looks professional and you can continue your speech while the picture is shown
Don't read from the screen or keynotes, try to improvise
Try to go through the presentation 1 or 2 times before going on a stage, to make sure that the order of slides and story telling make sense and go along nicely
Do a professional work, ask help, or hire a specialist if you're uncertain
