PowerPoint® Design Courses You’ll Genuinely LOVE!

Presentations are intimate.

They set the mood, establish the cadence, and guide the flow of ideas—all while shaping how your audience experiences your message.

If you’re a consultant, SME or business leader, you know the feeling. You spend hours refining your slides, yet when you see your work on the screen, the visuals don’t land. They don’t fully express the impact of your ideas or support your connection with your clients, employees or audience.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

...create presentations that articulate your vision, establish trust and most importantly, connect!

PowerPoint® is a powerful tool. But it’s versatility can be overwhelming.

Knowing what you need, where to find it, and what to leave out is the key to crafting slides you love— and delivering content that truly resonates.

Slide design isn’t easy—but it doesn’t have to be hard.

Whether you’re a motivational speaker addressing thousands at a conference or an executive guiding your team through change, slides that align with your vision clarify complex ideas and inspire action. Your delivery matters.

Effective slide design is about more than creating a polished deck. It’s a reflection of how you and your work are experienced in the world. As your messaging shifts and grows, your visuals should naturally adapt, ensuring consistency and clarity in every iteration.

Your signature presentations are a dynamic reflection of your evolving ideas.

For most professionals, the challenge isn’t design ability—it’s time. When your slides reflect your unique voice and integrate into your broader digital story, your ideas become unmistakable. Time and attention are your most valuable assets—let’s ensure every moment your audience spends with your presentation is impactful.

PowerPoint® is a powerful tool, but building a strong foundation for presenting your intellectual property doesn’t start with shortcuts or advanced techniques—it begins with mastering the essentials.

By leveraging what you already know and refining your approach, you’ll gain the confidence to design slides with clarity, efficiency, and impact. When you focus on getting exceptionally good at the fundamentals, every presentation becomes easier to build, more engaging to deliver, and unmistakably professional.

These core principles are an investment you’ll never regret:

Before the Slides — Make strategic stylistic and branding decisions before you dive into design.

Command of PowerPoint® functionality — Go beyond the basics to unlock the software’s full potential.

Intentional design — Activate your message with tailored visuals that captivate, clarify, and inspire action.

Implementing efficient systems — Organize your templates, assets, and visual elements to streamline workflows.

Advanced PowerPoint® Design Training — Refine your expertise with techniques for designing custom slide graphics.

With time, practice, and intention, you can become your own design expert—creating presentations that refine your message, distinguish your work, and leave you feeling confident and connected with your audience.

Presentations are your most versatile medium for captivating and persuading any audience!

Imagine stepping into a world where PowerPoint® isn’t just a tool, but a canvas for your creativity.

PowerPoint Training Theory
Imitate
Integrate
Innovate

You don’t need expert-level mastery to create inspiring slides that support your ideas and engage your audience.

But I do believe that you need to practice and that when you imitate and then integrate, what organically arises is your ability to innovate capturing your style and using it to create succinct messaging in alignment with your business story.

Leaning into PowerPoint's core functionality is one way to spend less time tweaking slides and more time defining the visual elements that will differentiate your messaging, showcase your brand’s IP, and transform your audience.

If you’re a founder, Consultant, EA, or program leader, you’ve likely already spent dozens of hours designing and redesigning slides. My mission is to help you leverage that experience.
