What this deck is for
Use it to onboard new staff, to roll out a new process, or to teach a skill such as handling a refund, opening the shop, using a new machine or answering a complaint. It works in a room, on a video call and as a deck people read later.
Training sticks when people do the task during the session. That is why the exercise sits before the recap, not after it.

How to present it
- Teach one task per session. Two tasks halve what people remember.
- Use real examples from your own business in the exercise.
- Share the deck afterwards. The steps slide becomes the checklist people use at work.

Questions
How long should a training session be?
Short enough to stay on one task. Many teams find under an hour works, with the exercise in the middle.
How do I know the training worked?
Watch people do the task a week later. If they skip a step, that step needs a clearer slide.
Can I use it for online training?
Yes. Keep the practice slide on screen while people try the exercise, and ask them to share what they did.
Use it in Supernatural
Supernatural: everything your business runs on, with Blue as your part-time admin. Present is one of its apps. In your workspace, you ask Blue for “a training deck for the team”. Blue starts from this outline, writes in what you give it, and leaves [brackets] where something is missing. Figures you have not given stay as [add the figure], so no number reaches an audience unchecked. Nothing is made until you say yes.
The beta is free and asks for no card.
