Keynote (TED-style) template
One big idea — told through story, data and a clear takeaway. This is the shape that works — 7 sections in the order the room expects them, each with a hint for what belongs inside. Fill it with your own words and the speech carries itself.
00:01The structure
7 sections, in this order.
-

Your big idea in one sentence
-

What it makes possible — one concrete example

Someone it already worked for

What you want them to do tomorrow

From outline to on time.
Every section gets a time, and the total tells you whether you will fit your slot. You write your lines directly inside each block, so the words and the shape never drift apart.
When it is time to deliver, the same outline becomes full-screen cue cards with a stage clock, or a teleprompter that follows the pace you planned.
