The FIRST step in creating a successful presentation is "Defining the purpose and audience."

Here's why:

1. Designing the slides: This is not the first step. Before you start designing your slides, you need to know what your presentation is about (purpose) and who you're presenting to (audience).

2. Identify the visuals that you will use: This comes later in the process, after you've defined your purpose and audience and outlined your presentation.

3. Defining the purpose and audience: This is the first step. Before you can start planning your presentation, you need to know why you're presenting (purpose) and who you're presenting to (audience). This will guide the rest of your presentation planning process.

4. Preparing a structure for the presentation: This comes after defining the purpose and audience. Once you know why you're presenting and who you're presenting to, you can start to outline your presentation.
