Negative feedback after presentation

I just want to ask for some tips on overcoming anxiety of presenting - I was recently asked to do a short presentation at my work on legal implications of poor documentation in healthcare - not the mist thrilling topic to begin with but it was a small group of 5 people so I tried to keep it more informal. I had 8 slides and went through the basics and tried to add some examples to highlight.

They were not engaged at all (it was the end of the day in a small and stuffy room) and i ended up getting extremely anxious and losing my thread. I knew it didn’t go well but to make matters worse the person who asked me to do the presentation emailed me afterwards to give me lots of negative feedback about how I didn’t make it interactive enough.

I am so upset by this - I have to do another presentation in a month so I have time to improve but I’m already dreading it and don’t know how to make a dry topic interesting!
