The most important thing while presenting is the engagement and to keep ensuring that the updates you are presenting, your audience is understanding that and agrees to that. Also ensure to keep few minutes by the end for any questions, that ways you would give a chance to others to raise their concerns if any.

Communication is the key and please don't stop asking questions, even if they sound stupid to you but atleast you would know what to do and then find the way best way to do it. This would show your boss that you are keen on doing jobs and helping them on your own

One thing I've found extremely helpful is to keep everyone on the same page. Regular catch ups with the key stakeholders to allign your expectations is the key. In this way you all can discuss and prioritize your objectives accordingly.

To my understanding, there is no other emotion that can help you in building a strong bond than Empathy. If you show genuine care and sincerely empathize, it is much likely to understand the client's need and their concerns.

Time management is the key. You need to make a priority list and based on that start doing the high priority first, in that case if you don't get time to do all of it, you know that you've already taken care of the important ones.

You know we all know and talk about active listening but it's unfortunate that we still don't fully understand the value of this so underrated skill. Active listening is a mandatory skill that everyone should possess not just for their professional growth but to make their personal relationships better as well. Since it would cut 50% of our problems out from our lives.
