About this Event
Workshop Outline
This workshop will explore how to craft presentations that truly drive decisions. We’ll start by breaking down the power of storytelling and how to frame a clear narrative for your audience. From there, we’ll cover the essentials of slide design, visual hierarchy, balance of text and visuals, and how to make data compelling. Participants will learn proven deck frameworks used in consulting, fundraising, and executive decision-making, then put these into practice with a hands-on exercise. We’ll close with live feedback, key takeaways, and a simple set of rules to help you create decks that deliver impact, leaving you feeling like you’ve earned a PhD in deck making.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Understand the structure of a compelling story and how to frame presentations that resonate with any audience.
- Apply practical design principles to create clear, engaging, and professional PowerPoint slides.
- Walk away with a “PhD in deck making”, the confidence and tools to craft presentations that influence decisions.
