You’re here for the SDI Mini-Audit.
A fast, self-guided tool to identify the slides that are choking comprehension in mixed-language rooms — and fix them without rebuilding your entire deck.
James P. O’Malley “speaker doctor” directorship
40 years directing performance + 10 years directing medical conference speakers.
Good decision.
Most speakers wait until the week of the event.
What this fixes (fast)
Mixed rooms punish two things: dense slides and rushed delivery.
The SDI Mini-Audit shows you exactly where the deck is costing you comprehension — and gives you a simple cut-and-rebuild method.
What you’ll walk away with:
Your 10-slide SDI score
Your Top 5 “cut first” offenders
A clean rebuild pattern for those slides
“Working with James was a gamechanger.”
Dr. Rachel Garcia
What dense slides cost you
-
The room reads instead of listens
-
You rush the close (authority is won there)
-
You lose timing control and confidence
-
ESL listeners fall behind first — then the whole room
-
You leave without a repeatable system for the next talk
This is the same principle you use in medicine: prevention beats emergency.
What changes when slides get clean?
-
Your talk becomes easy to deliver and follow
-
Your transitions become calm and controlled
-
Your authority rises because comprehension rises
- Your close lands on time and on target
Real outcomes. Real rooms. No theatrics.
"I don't know if I can describe James' work because it is so genius there's no description! A phenomenal job!"

Where SDI fits in the CORE™ System
-
Clarity: remove slide density so meaning lands
-
Organization: WHY → STORY → INSIGHT architecture prevents bloat
-
Resonance: the room remembers what it understands
-
Execution: rehearsal reps + timing control = predictable performance
Pillars: Why? Story? Insight?
SDI is the fastest “first fix” because it removes friction immediately.

Meet James P. O'Malley
I direct conference talks the way film directors shape performance: structure first, clarity on the page, control in rehearsal.
My work is built for mixed-language conference rooms — where comprehension is the real currency.

Start now. Fix the densest slides first.
If you have a talk on the horizon, don’t wait.
Early clarity makes rehearsal predictable — and predictable rehearsal is how the best speakers make it look easy.
