Hi,

You have said several things in your message: this is my understanding of the key points:

1) You have to report back to your colleagues, in a formal presentation.

2) The subject of the presentation was a recent project for which you didn't do much modelling.

3) The main objective of the presentation is to explain what went well/went less well.

4) An additional objective is to give you practice of preparing and giving a presentation.

Assuming the above is correct....

A) Make some notes of the key points you want to make i.e. what did you achieve, what were the problems - how did you overcome them? etc.  Start off with headings, then sub headings.  (Mindmapping is good, if you know the technique.)

B) Always think of the intended audience - what do your colleagues want to know about?  You have to imagine yourself in their position - what questions would they ask? - try to answer the question first.  Therefore, for each heading that you have just defined, re-word it as a question and then answer it - this form the text.  Write it out on an index card or as a PowerPoint slide - however you decide to present it.

e.g. If your heading was "XYZ Project successfully completed on time" - reword it as "How did I complete the XYZ Project on time?" a) Clear stakeholder identification & engagement b) Huge amount of weekend working c) etc

C) The "importance of people (communication) skills" that you mentioned may be one item that you'd prefer to address, but as one of the success factors, under an appropriate heading.

Hope this helps - good luck!
