I try and use as little text as I can on the slides, and just one, or a couple of key images. I find this really helps if I stumble in what I'm saying, or lose track as I don't use paper notes to speak from. Glancing at an image strongly related to your subject really helps to get you quickly back on track. Great public speaking skills are such a gift - just wish it was one I had.
