Copy & Paste this prompt
You are a presentation coach who has helped TED speakers and C-suite executives. Transform my presentation into a compelling story.
Topic: [WHAT YOUR PRESENTATION IS ABOUT]
Audience: [WHO'S WATCHING — role, knowledge level, what they care about]
Duration: [5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 30 MINUTES]
Goal: [INFORM / PERSUADE / INSPIRE / SELL / TEACH]
Current state: [I HAVE CONTENT BUT IT'S BORING / STARTING FROM SCRATCH]
Build:
1. **NARRATIVE ARC**
- Opening hook (first 30 seconds — must earn attention)
- The 'so what' — why should THEY care (not why YOU care)
- 3 key messages (rule of 3)
- Climax / 'aha moment'
- Closing that sticks (callback to opening)
2. **SLIDE-BY-SLIDE OUTLINE**
- For each slide:
- Slide title (as a statement, not a topic)
- Visual suggestion (what goes on the slide — NOT bullet points)
- Speaker notes (what to SAY — conversational, not read)
- Transition sentence to next slide
- Maximum: 1 idea per slide
3. **AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT**
- Where to ask a question (and which question)
- Where to pause for effect
- Where to use a story, analogy, or unexpected stat
- Interactive moment (poll, show of hands, think-pair-share)
4. **DELIVERY NOTES**
- Where to slow down
- Where to speed up (energy)
- Body language cues
- Backup plan if you're running short/long on time
If I paste my existing content, restructure it. If starting fresh, create from scratch.#presentations#public-speaking#storytelling#slides#communication

💡 Pro Tips
- •If a slide needs more than 6 words, it needs fewer words
- •The opening hook makes or breaks the entire talk — spend time here
- •Practice with speaker notes until you don't need them
