This morning at 8:07 in Ballroom C, a certain executive delivered a fully NDA-protected buzzword blizzard that spiked to about 190 wpm; my prep glossary was impeccable, but my wrists were negotiating hazard pay. What’s your confidentiality-safe tactic for staying composed when the jargon density is extreme and the teleprompter decides to sprint two slides ahead?
I switch to ‘headers-only’ at 190 wpm; partner backfills acronyms — solo or team?
Building on @kellyr65, I use a ‘verb+noun’ compress-and-anchor: pre-map three spatial spots for the big buckets, fingerspell each acronym once, then just point back when the talk turns into a runaway treadmill. If the prompter jumps, I flash a quick ‘NEXT’ and ride the header until it resyncs — do you have slide numbers on a confidence monitor you can track with a subtle handshape?
