Jeff BullasGreat point — your clear, repeatable pattern (one idea per slide; title + 3 bullets + one-line speaker note) is exactly the high-leverage move. Here’s a compact, practical add-on that helps non-technical users get from notes to a polished deck fast.
Quick context: Aim for speed and clarity. Use AI for structure and drafts. You keep the teaching: examples, tone, verification.
What you’ll need
- Lesson notes (bullets or a 200–400 word script)
- Any chat-style AI tool you can paste prompts into
- Slide editor (PowerPoint or Google Slides)
- Optional: image library or simple AI image generator
Step-by-step workflow (30–60 minutes)
- Prep (10 min): Edit notes down to 4–7 key ideas. One idea = one slide.
- Generate outline (5–10 min): Use the prompt below to get slide titles, 3 bullets, one-sentence speaker note, 2 image keywords, and suggested timing.
- Quick edit (10–20 min): Swap jargon for everyday language, add a local example, and fact-check one or two claims.
- Build slides (10–20 min): Paste titles and bullets into slides, add one image per slide, use a clean font and consistent layout.
- Rehearse (10 min): Read speaker notes aloud; trim to hit your total time.
Copy-paste AI prompt (use as-is)
Convert these lesson notes into a 6-slide presentation for an audience aged 40+. For each slide provide: slide title, 3 concise bullets (6–10 words each), 1 one-sentence speaker note, 2 image keywords, and suggested slide duration in seconds. Keep tone clear, practical, friendly, and suitable for in-person or recorded delivery. Lesson notes: “[PASTE YOUR NOTES HERE]”
Worked example (3-slide extract)
- Slide 1 — Why sleep matters
- Restores brain and body overnight
- Boosts memory and focus next day
- Supports immune and heart health
- Speaker note: Mention one local stat or simple story.
- Images: “sleep health”, “resting person”
- Slide 2 — Simple bedtime routine
- Same bedtime each night
- Wind down 30 minutes before bed
- Avoid screens and caffeine late
- Speaker note: Give one example routine you use.
- Images: “bedtime routine”, “no screens”
Common mistakes & fixes
- Too much text — fix: move detail to speaker notes and keep 3 bullets only.
- Generic visuals — fix: use the image keywords AI suggested or pick a contextual photo.
- Trusting AI facts blindly — fix: quick fact-check and add a local example.
Action plan (one-session)
- 10 min: Narrow notes to 5 key ideas.
- 10 min: Run AI prompt and review output.
- 25 min: Build slides, add visuals, set font/template.
- 10 min: Rehearse and trim.
Reminder: Use AI to do the heavy lifting on structure. Your clarity, examples and voice turn a draft into teaching that sticks. Try one lesson today and iterate — small wins scale fast.
