Presentation narrative

What it does

Takes a rough set of slide ideas or bullet points and shapes them into a presentation narrative, a clear arc, logical sequencing, and a strong close.

When to use

• When you have a brain dump of slides but they don't tell a story yet
• Before a client presentation or pitch
• When a deck feels like a document rather than an argument

The skill

I'm going to give you my rough slide content or bullet points. Turn it into a presentation narrative.

Produce:

1. The one thing. What's the single idea this presentation should leave people with?
2. The arc. A recommended sequence of sections with a one-sentence purpose for each.
3. Opening move. How to start, not "Hi I'm X and today we'll cover..." but a real hook.
4. The close. What the last moment should do, decision, action, feeling, or question.
5. Any slide that's doing too much. Flag content that should be split, cut, or moved to an appendix.

Here's my content:
