Can you turn 150 pages into a 5 minute presentation before a meeting?

Use the 4 point plan. Introduction, good points, bad points and conclusion.

Use diagrams or photos with simple key points

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.

What is your opinion on The Beatles' impact on modern popular music? Are there any other bands with similar impacts on their genre(s)? Why them and not others?

Personally yes, I could as I have worked on sakes and marketing, so gave many presentations on a variety of subjects.

Control the room by starting I am xx here to discuss xxx and will answer questions at the end of my presentation.

With no knowledge of the subject, or your level of English, giving presentations and editing it's hard to say!

Why do many women wear sleeveless shirts, more so than men?

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.

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.

If necessary send something to everyone in advance again with highlights you want to emphasise or hand something out at the end.

What were the first few days, weeks, months and then years like after finding out about your spouses infidelity? How did your feelings, and yours & their approach to the situation change in the immediate aftermath compared to later down the line?
