The audience comes to a conclusion about the meaning of the slide before they have heard a single word from the presenter. What if they came to the wrong conclusion? In this article, I want to talk about how presenters can give the audience context before they come their own conclusion.

It is likely that you have done a lot of analysis and many calculations in order to come up with the conclusions that you want to present. What your audience needs to hear is the conclusion you reached. The focus of your presentation should be on the conclusion of your work, not the details of your work. Only include those few details that, if changed, would significantly impact the conclusion.
