I do think it would differ significantly if you were trying to garner interest. Flexibility would help vs. a more structured presentation.

I can’t say I like the linked deck too much. Titles with no thesis. Visuals that don’t demonstrate anything on their own. It can work for speaking over. But it doesn’t actually convey information.

It's not centered on a goal (other than getting more invitations to speak at conferences.) I'm not trying to persuade people to take a particular course of action unlike a consultant.

Somebody is going to go a talk like that and receive a bit more than they can absorb. They'll walk out with something that really sticks for them. It won't promote the feeling that "I took four days and spent $X to go to a conference and didn't get my money's worth."
