I have some tips for you. 1) Prepare your lessons for the year or class period so that you know how much you have to cover and can pace yourself. Do the same thing with each class. Always remember who your audience is and direct the lecture at the audience 2)Have visual props to help convey information (outlines, bars, graphs, overheads). It will focus the class and take away your anxiety. 3) Invite the class to participate in discussion through a Q and A at the end of class. 4) Ask for feedback during the lecture by asking questions of the class ("Any questions so far?") 5) Find ways to relate the subject matter to things that are relevant to the class. 6) Invite one-on-one contact with your students to get more direct feedback 7) The hardest part is the first few minutes. You know the material better than anyone in the room. The anxiety will pass when you get into the rhythm of the lecture.
Congratulations and good luck.

Brace yourself!
It really depends on the job and who you will be teaching, but some general tips are, never get flustered, prepare for all sorts of strange questions, and learn classroom management skills.
If you have self-motivated learners, the chances are you will have less classroom management concerns, but you really do have to stamp down your authority quickly because given an inch students will take a yard.
Learn to appear confident even if you're not. Students sense if you are flustered or unsure and they tend to capitalise on it.
Preparation is the key to all lecturing. Know your material WELL, consider the unusual or obscure questions you may get about a topic and have an answer, use all the technology you can. Powerpoint is a powerful tool, prompt cards if you need them, anything that makes your lecture interesting and flow well.

Congratulations on your job! I think to start, you must really know the material you are presenting. Start by making an outline or notes of the main points you want to present to your audience. Then decide what is most important about those main categories that you want to tell the group you are presenting to. Try to put yourself in your audience's place. Ask yourself what would make your lecture more interesting to you?
Look at your audience and try not to read word for word from your notes. You did not say how formal or informal your audience will be. A little humor never hurts and it "breaks the ice" so to speak.
Best of luck to you. I think you will find that the more you do this the more you will find what is right for you and your audience. Don't forget to BREATH!! Try to relax and have fun with it!

1. Don't be boring.
2. Use visual aides to get your point across.
3. If you use slide shows don't read the slides verbatim.
4. Make jokes (everybody remembers a funny lecturer better)
5. Give breaks, if not your audience will fall asleep
6. Show up early and prepared
7. If you are giving a lecture lunch-n-learn style, let the audience get their food before you start.
8. Make sure room conditions are adequate for giving a lecture
9. Provide examples to back up and reinforce what your are saying
10. In the beginning, state your purpose and plan

Get in front of a full length mirror. Recite your topic looking left an right in the mirror. Repeat.
Speak clearly.
After each point Ask a question.
Remember to summarize your topic.
One TIP, Personally I use humor to keep interest. Try and find a spot 15 minutes into your topic where you can stick in a "rubber chicken"
Good luck

Please prepare well by having a least one handout that saves a lot of writing notes for your audience. Refer them also to website references where your graphics can be stored etc. Use your laptop to project multimedia aids in the conference room.
