Layout Pattern
Q&A / Discussion
Intentional pause for questions. Frames the conversation and shows you expect dialogue, not monologue.
How to Use It
Do not stick a generic "Questions?" at the end as an afterthought. A proper Q&A slide cues the room: large "Questions?" headline, your contact info or handle, and optionally 3-4 seed questions ("you might be wondering...") to prime discussion. For long decks, consider mid-deck Q&A slides after dense sections rather than saving every question to the end.
