The meeting is at 8am. Your heart just sank. This isn't a quick fix. This is a rewrite. Here we go again.
to me
Hey,
Deck looks good overall, but slide 7 feels a bit defensive. Can we reframe it to focus on opportunities vs. explaining the delay? Also, the metrics on slide 12 need to align with what David presented last week — check with his team.
One more thing — can we add a slide about the Q2 outlook? CEO asked about it yesterday.
Thanks!
The 11pm edit isn't about the deck. It's about the process.
Every deck is built from scratch, inviting endless reinterpretation
Each stakeholder reviews after the previous one, adding delays
"Can we make it feel more positive?" isn't actionable
If the deck can be edited, it will be edited — at any hour
That's 4 full work weeks. Gone. On revisions that didn't change the outcome.
SlideStrike generates consistent, stakeholder-ready decks. The structure is proven. The narrative is clear. No late-night surprises.
Get It Right the First TimeThe best presentations don't get edited at 11pm.
They don't need to be.
