Learn the story. Master the design.
Your team builds internal decks all the time, and with my Story By Design presentation training, they'll learn to build them far more effectively, so every deck moves your organization toward action that matters. If any of the challenges below sound familiar, you're in the right place. Your team's time is valuable, and this training makes sure the decks they build every day lead to the best outcomes.

Ineffective slide design
Your team presents decks constantly (business reviews, readouts, client updates), but they keep burying their points under slides with 40 bullet points.
Strain on your time
You keep having to send decks back, or fix them yourself. Polishing your team's slides has somehow become part of your job.
It's just not landing
You can't quite put your finger on what's wrong with the presentation, but you know it's not there yet. What you need is a compelling story to pull it all together.
Before you entrust me with your highest-stakes work
Training structure
I offer several training structures to meet your team's needs, all developed as interactive workshops that encompass storytelling and design. We focus on: structuring a presentation around a clear arc from problem to solution; turning numbers into actionable insights and presenting charts without overwhelming the audience; applying storytelling techniques to slide design; creating visual hierarchy and using animation to control the flow; and how to create effective executive-facing presentations.
Trainings include live redesign-and-present practice and feedback in real time, applied to real presentations your team is working on.
Your team works on real slides
This is not a theoretical training based on sample slides. Your team will bring the presentations they're actually working on, fix them in the room, then practice presenting them. They leave with their own slides improved and a clear method to carry into their next presentation.
Office hours keep the momentum going
I offer optional office hours as an add-on. This gives your team the opportunity to take what they learned, put it into practice, then get personal guidance from me while it's all still fresh.
Groups are kept intentionally small
I cap each session at 10 people, so everyone gets personalized attention and feedback, and ample opportunity to practice. If you have a larger team needing training, we can run additional sessions.
This is an interactive training
This is an interactive presentation skills training, not a course. It's built around your team's real decks, with practice and feedback in real time. For teams that opt for the optional office hours add-on, these make sure your team is set up to put what they've learned into practice right away.
Trainings are for internal teams
My presentation trainings are meant for high-performing teams creating everyday presentations that get presented internally. For external, high-stakes decks, I offer strategic slide design, because when your deck has to land, you need a professional who understands exactly what will speak to your audience.
How we'll work together
Meet
We talk about your team so I can understand what they build, how often, who they present to, and what's not working.
Map
I tailor the training around your team's needs and the actual slides they're creating.
Master
Your team attends the training, where they get the opportunity to edit their slides, practice presenting, and master the art of effective deck design.
