That’s exactly the moment a presentation can go off the rails: too much content, too little direction. So we started with questions. Not about slides, but about the story. What does the audience need to understand? What needs to stick?
Step by step, the core became clear. The storyboard first. The slides after.
The concept that followed: the gut as a forest. First the big picture, then zooming in until you see what’s really going on in the microbiome. Not a list of facts, but a journey that makes the complexity digestible.

At the symposium, it landed. Goal achieved. Lots of positive feedback.
