i think like attentionspan, i also consider myself to not be "the type" to give presentations. i'm very content sitting in my office doing the grinding while my partner/colleague attends meetings and pitches. i'm very good at giving insight into clients and situations and coming up with unique angles and solutions, but i'm just not interested in presenting them... she does, and she's been doing it for a very long time.
if i can add anything to the thread, it's that i don't care for "exciting, enthusiastic sales-pitch" type presentations and speakers. i will listen to and interact with someone who is sincere and shows genuine insight and want to share their thoughts on whatever they are presenting as opposed to just a well-rehearsed "pitch".
i'm more concerned with the process as well... perhaps you can try to learn to communicate more of this in your presentations... tell your audience about your process, how you work, how your ideas evolve... there's not just one style of presentation. find a way to communicate with your audience on a real, interactive level and it will also feel more natural and hence be easier...
