Here is an example of an actual presentation by one of my student/clients showing a completed template. This is pretty much my own template but similar organizational formats have been around and used for years. Organization of your thoughts before presenting is important regardless if you are speaking to one, or many, and if it is short or a long presentation. Get your point across clearly by trying this.

Here is Andrea's presentation using the template:
Purpose:
Convince the board that an award should be provided quarterly to an employee for outstanding achievement.
Thesis statement: I am here today to inform you on why we should provide an award to employees.
Introduction:
Preview (of each of 3 points): I will first discuss performance of past employees with no service reward. I will then discuss performance of employees who have recently been recognized for their service. Lastly, I will discuss how we can continue to grow employee morale.
List your 3 points with 2 subpoints each:
1. Past employee morale for work performed
a. Tardy
b. Low Production
Transition to point 2:
2. Present morale for employees who have been recognized
a. Team player
b. Good ethics
Transition to point 3:
3. We can continue to grow morale of employees
a. Show facts and statistics
b. Show ways we can achieve this
(be sure to support each point).
Summary: Past employees have done mediocre work, employees being recognized are performing better, and we are going to continue to grow on this.
Conclusion (note that the summary is a summary and not a conclusion technique):
If we do not want to be working the interview circuit every other day we need to recognize these employees.
