Estimated time: 2–4 hoursUpdated: 1 October 2026

Use this guide when you need to present to colleagues, customers, a club or a council meeting. Have your key facts ready and know roughly how long you will speak for and who is in the audience.

Step by step

  1. Write the message before opening the software

    Write one sentence that states what you want the audience to know or do, such as: We should switch suppliers in January because it saves time and reduces errors. Then list three supporting points and the evidence for each. This outline becomes your slide titles, so the deck tells a story rather than listing everything you know.
