# Speaker notes that help you present with confidence

Write notes for a result slide in three lines: what the number means, the boundary of the claim and the transition.

## Worked example

Use these starting values to work through the decision, then substitute your own inputs.

Write notes for a result slide in three lines: what the number means, the boundary of the claim and the transition. For 28 completions from 40 invitations, the slide can show 70%; the note should remind you that completion is not measured improvement and that non-completers were not interviewed. Add the source location so you can answer a challenge quickly. After export, check whether these notes reached the recipient instead of assuming visible slide text includes all context.

- The sentence after the headline - not a repeat of the bullet
- Which number you must cite if challenged
- The question you want to ask the room
- What to skip if time runs short

## Rehearse the audience's experience

Use the actual file, display and notes arrangement. A rehearsal inside the editor does not test the exported deck or screen-sharing setup. Mark the sentence that connects each important slide to the next so transitions do not depend on memory alone.

1. Say the opening and final request aloud; time them with the pauses you intend to use.
2. Check the hardest explanation and one likely question. Place supporting evidence where you can reach it quickly.
3. Prepare a local backup and identify what changes if the connection, display or allotted time fails.

## Create your next presentation
