Waay too long!! I put faaaar to much onto my slides and didn’t even get through half of them. 10 mins is so fast- I need to refine, summarise and streamline more. I had no time to practice and panicked about putting everything I had done on the slides so I could get some good feedback. I had gotten too immersed in the data and forgotten to summarise.

However it was such good preparation for the real thing and really highlighted where I have to narrow things down and what to include on my workflow instead. Succinct summaries are the way forward- and I need to look at how I can put everything across in a simple and effective way.

It also highlighted I had achieved a lot and done a lot in the time so far, so I need to be kinder to myself about feeling like I have not done enough.

I will investigate ‘lightening talks’ as Vikki mentioned those ( a terminology I was not aware of) and see what I can learn from the experts who fit huge projects into short talks!
