How to use these sheets
Start with one sheet
- Before writing: use the time planner to divide your speaking slot and reserve time for questions.
- While rehearsing: enter your measured pace, record each run and compare actual minutes with your limit.
- After a practice run: ask a reviewer for specific evidence, its effect on understanding and one next move.
Editing: amber cells are for your entries. Grey cells calculate automatically. Keep the formulas intact. Time fields use decimal minutes: 1 minute 30 seconds is 1.50, and 7 minutes 24 seconds is 7.40. Each worksheet includes a worked example.
On a phone: use an Excel-compatible spreadsheet app to edit the saved .xlsx file. If your in-app browser does not save the download, open this page in Chrome, Safari or your main browser and try again.
Prefer the browser? Use the words-to-minutes calculator, rehearsal timer or presentation time planner.
CueLab Resources collects practical tools that are meant to be used, printed, copied into notes, or adapted to a real presentation. These pages are different from ordinary articles: each one contains a worksheet, rubric, checklist, or repeatable process that can be applied to a specific communication task.
Presentation Audit Checklist
Use the CueLab Presentation Audit Checklist when a deck is mostly finished but still needs a serious final review. It checks message clarity, visual attention, chart readability, transitions, timing, likely questions, and room or accessibility issues. The page includes a slide-by-slide audit sheet instead of a generic “make it better” list.
Speaking Rehearsal Worksheet and Timing Log
The CueLab Speaking Rehearsal Worksheet turns practice into three different passes: structure, delivery, and realistic conditions. It includes a timing log, pause map, transition test, Q&A rehearsal, and a one-run review sheet so the next rehearsal is based on evidence rather than memory.
Constructive Feedback Rubric
The CueLab Constructive Feedback Rubric uses an Evidence–Impact–Next Move method for giving specific feedback without guessing at personality or confidence. It includes worked examples for presentation openings, teaching explanations, and chart slides, plus a peer-review sheet.
How these tools fit together
If you are preparing a presentation, start with the audit checklist to find structural and visual problems. Use the rehearsal worksheet after the deck is stable enough to practice under realistic conditions. Then use the feedback rubric with a colleague, teacher, teammate, or peer reviewer to decide what should change before the next run.
The tools are deliberately separated because a single giant checklist creates too many simultaneous targets. Deck design, delivery rehearsal, and external feedback are different jobs. Keeping them separate makes it easier to identify what actually improved.
What CueLab will add next
Future resources will focus on annotated slide redesigns, chart-editing examples, question-handling practice, and teaching checks that can be used without turning every communication problem into a score. New resources will be linked here when they are complete.
