💥 Another top tip from Simon Cain on delivering a great flash talk:
🎯 Use your final slide for impact — leave the audience with a clear message, image, or call to action they’ll remember long after your talk ends. #SPCRTrainee

🎙️ Great insights from Simon Cain Westbourne Training & Consulting on delivering an impactful flash talk! ✨
🧠 Key tip: aim for one slide per key element - too much info on screen can distract rather than engage your audience.
