DELIVERABLE 2: 18-Minute TED-Style Speaking Script (REQUIRED)
This is critical.
- Script must be approximately 18 minutes when spoken aloud

- Script must flow slide-by-slide with the PowerPoint
- Include stage directions, such as:
- [Pause]

- [Advance slide]
- [Audience reflection]
- Script should align with my existing white paper arguments and leadership perspective
The goal is for the script and slides to work together seamlessly for an oral defense-style presentation.
Graphs & Visuals (Required in Slides)
Please include 4 clean, professional graphs, visually simplified:
- Mental health provider shortages in rural Mississippi
- Urban vs rural broadband access gap
- Mental Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) coverage

Graphs should:
- Be simple and easy to interpret
- Avoid clutter or excessive labels
- Match the overall design style
Important Rules
- No citations on slides
- References may appear in speaker notes if needed
- Do not add content outside what is provided
- This must be appropriate for a doctoral capstone and executive audience
Please confirm you understand both deliverables (slides + 18-minute script) before beginning and let me know if you have any questions.
