Use diagrams and examples where possible. Give them the old WIIFM.

Are you sure, I would find it very distracting to be watching someone do a presentation wearing nothing but underwear from the waiste down............... oh sorry................I see now, my mistake.......... almost sent me to trap two again there.

I am not qualified to give the above advice!

Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

You have to explain in short, punchy terms what the benefits to the listeners are and why they would be mad not to do whatever it is. Many people make the classic mistake of assuming the benefits are obvious to all but most of the listeners would rather do nothing. You have to appeal to their selfishness.
