Slides and talks.
HOW TO ASK
"I am presenting [subject] to [audience] in [duration]. They care about [what]. Produce a slide outline, one point per slide, with a note on what I would say."
THE CONSTRAINT THAT MATTERS
"Maximum fifteen words per slide. Put the detail in the speaker notes."
Models produce slides that are documents projected.
WHAT MAKES SLIDES WORK
One idea per slide Few words The point stated, not hinted
FOR THE STRUCTURE
What the problem is, why it matters, what you propose, what you need from the audience.
FOR SPEAKER NOTES
What you would actually say. Written to be spoken, not read.
FOR A SHORT TALK
Fewer slides than people expect. Five good ones beat twenty.
WHAT TO SUPPLY
Your actual content and data.
THE TEST
Could you deliver this without reading the slides?
