Structure a Talk in an Hour
“I spend days on slides and the talk still has no shape.”
From a blank page to a talk with a spine in sixty minutes: the single message, three supports, a way in and a way out.
What you will be able to do
Plan any talk from five to forty minutes in an hour
Open without "so, um, today I am going to talk about"
Build slides that support you instead of replacing you
