What if your slides weren’t there to impress but to support you?

In this episode of Rethink, Nicki Hambleton talks with Nici Foote about designing slides as visual cues rather than content.

Drawing on a real presentation created for BETT, they explore how intentional design can support memory, pace, and confidence, reducing cognitive load for the speaker and creating a greater sense of belonging.

A reflective conversation about restraint, care, and designing presentations that support thinking, not performance.

We all need a rethink once in a while, so why not start today?
