Yet, are also consistently ranked as one of skills most employees don’t have—regardless of industry.

I can help fill that gap with my professional development workshop, Fail-Proof Slide Design!

The Curriculum

Our priority is to make learning fun & easy. That’s why our workshop is:

Not just a big, long lecture. Activities are integrated to keep it engaging and fun.

Packed with SHORT videos (usually only 5-15 mins each), so it’s easy to fit into their workday.

Structured in a logical, step-by-step order, so all trainees have to do is click “next video”.

Core Training = 1 hr 45 min

This core training includes two sections.

Section 1: How to stop #DeathByPowerpoint
(i.e., what to stop doing)

The definition of “effective presenting” in a professional context.
The top 2 myths stopping you from creating engaging presentations right now.
Your #1 enemy to creating engaging presentations.
Four examples of this “enemy” that are in your presentations right now.

Section 2: How to create visually engaging presentations
(i.e., what to do instead)

How to have well-designed slides even when they are 100% text.
What is the right number of slides to use in any presentation?
How to use less text per slide and more visuals.
The top 3 best layouts to use to have photos and text on the slide.
