From my answer to @lightalloy

I would treat presenting like public speaking, these book recommendations from Notist are a nice way to start. Design is a Job from Mike Monteiro is a good confidence booster.

As far as visuals go: less = more. Always think about the message you want to tell not the aesthetic of the slides, that being said using visuals instead of text is always a good choice when used properly!
