The slide explains everything. I can move on and finish on time.

I see a few confused faces. They won’t ask questions now. If I move ahead, the project will still progress. But I know that later they’ll follow instructions without really understanding, and I’ll feel like I delivered slides, not thinking.

I slow down, explain once more using their example, answer two questions, and move ahead. The session ends later. I don’t carry any discomfort back to the hotel.
