The Presentation Skills Masterclass Series

On-demand, self-paced professional development for professionals who refuse to give #DeathByPowerpoint talks and lectures anymore.

Go from this…

…to this 🤩

There are 2 ways to take the masterclass

Option #1:
Take one course at a time

  • Budget-friendly

  • Allows you to take a breather at each course

  • For those with no need to skip a course

  • Ideal for people who want about 4-6 hours of training (1 full day workshop).

  • Or, ideal for people who don’t have a high stakes presentation coming up anytime soon

Option #2:
Enroll in the entire program

  • Investment price

  • Allows you to binge-complete your entire training

  • Allows you to skip around between courses

  • Ideal for people who want about 32-40 hours of training (4 full day workshops).

  • And, ideal for people who have a high-stakes presentation coming up within the next 6-12 months

Side note: The masterclass was designed for people who want to invest in their presentation skills, which typically takes time. If you need urgent help because an important presentation is coming up soon, my collaborative services or design services might be a better fit, and I have a special service just for job talks (academic campus visit talks).

Fail-Proof Slide Design is the 1st course for everyone: here’s why.

Everyone starts here

Everyone — literally everyone — has been taught to create #DeathByPowerpoint presentations.

It is the Standard Academic Delivery (SAD).

You have been trained to create inaccessible data dumps, and have been given some really terrible advice about creating presentations.

Even if you’ve been trying to create better presentations on your end…

…it’s literally impossible for you to not have internalized at least some of the bad advice and bad habits that were part of your training.

Fail-Proof Slide Design is a critically important course in the series because it’s where you unlearn all of that bad advice.

And just as important: it’s a course that helps you start building the good habits you need if you want to captivate your audience through engaging storyboarding, storytelling, data visualizations, and visually engaging slides.

Nothing in courses 3-4 will work if you aren’t implementing literally everything in course 1.

  • You can enroll in the full program right here!

    This is recommended if you have access to professional development funds, or really want to finish your entire training ASAP.

    For most people, we recommend enrolling in 1 course at a time.

    That way you can take some time in between courses and use it to work on making everything you just learned into a habit that feels easy.

  • Our program goes in a very specific and intentional order.

    This course was intentionally designed so it’s easy to improve your presentations.

    It was also designed to handle the executive function for you—this course is structured in terms of priority.

    There are certain foundational slide design and presentation elements that you need to have in place before the more difficult or advanced strategies are possible (or helpful).

    Plus, in each course, we introduce terms and principles that are unique to the framework I developed over 10 years of training on presentation design and public speaking.

    For example, no one else teaches you to “MILAM” your presentations, so if you skip over the course that covers this, you will be confused or frustrated.

    If you have not taken presentation skills training, then please be rest assured that this path is going to make it easy for you to improve your skills. If you skip a course (or more) then you’re going to unnecessarily make life hard on yourself. But, you can do that if you enroll in the full program here. You get access to all courses at once, so you can skip around if you like (no refunds, just FYI).

    Now, if you enroll in the full program, you do get access to all 4 courses at once. That way, if you skip ahead and it gets confusing, you can at least go back to previous courses as needed.

    If you want to skip ahead because you have already taken presentation skills training, then I recommend you don’t start with these courses at all. Head over to my 1:1 page and let’s just start working together and develop a more tailored approach to improving your presentations.

  • If you take Fail-Proof Slide Design and then decide you want enroll the full program, we can definitely upgrade you!

    If you purchase the upgrade into the full program before your access to Fail-Proof Slide Design expires, you will receive a credit of 90% of what you paid for course #1 (not including taxes).
