The BUSI 688 Week 8 method, step by step
Plan the talk before the slides
Write the message of the Comprehensive Retirement Plan Presentation in two sentences, then outline the points that support it. Slides built before the message tend to become a stack of facts.
One idea per slide
Give each slide a headline that states its point and keep the text short. The detail belongs in what you say or in the speaker notes.
Put the evidence where it is used
Cite sources on the slides where you use them and list them on a references slide (Your comprehensive retirement plan).
Write speaker notes or a script
Script the talk slide by slide. If the guide asks for voiceover or notes, the analysis lives there.
Rehearse to the time limit
Do one timed run before the final recording and trim to fit the limit.
Check the technical requirements
Before submitting, check the slide count and timing (Not set in the guide), that audio plays, and that the link or file opens for someone else.
Script each slide's narration in conversational language, record it slide by slide in PowerPoint so audio stays matched, and play the whole presentation once to check timing and sound.

A topic angle that works
Speak to Mike and Maria, not to the instructor: start with their goals, show whether they are on track with one clear chart, then give the few actions that matter most and the next steps.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
Mike and Maria, the good news is that you are closer than you might think. Right now your savings would last until about age 84. Two changes make a big difference: adding about $650 a month to your 401(k) accounts, and Mike waiting until 70 to start Social Security. With those, our projections show your money lasting past age 95.
