Last year, I taught a half-day session about making templates for your company's presentations inside everyday software like PowerPoint.
The sessions were a hit! Attendees loved the:
- time-savings (so you don't have to make slides from scratch each time),
- professionalism (so everyone on your team can use matching colors, fonts, graphics, and layouts), and
- cost-savings (so you can use my templates instead of having to hire a graphic design company to make them for you).
You can watch the replays and make your own company-wide templates.
Or, download my templates so you don't have to start from scratch.
Prerequisites
Required: You'll need to complete Powerful Presentations before enrolling in this course.
Suggested: You'll do best in this course if you complete Data Storytelling, too.

What Participants Are Saying
"I’ve just finished the
Powerful Presentations course, and not only have my presentation skills and
setup improved, but so have my slides. There are so many great tips and tricks
I could highlight, but I will keep it to my three favorites:
color coding, increasing readability, and storyboarding.
The best part is, they don’t take that much extra time! These are simple changes that take your slidedecks to a new level and allow you to really impress your audience.”
- Kelsey Waterson, Evaluator, Centerstone Research Institute
"A client asked me to report the results at their meeting and I used so many of your suggestions in the slidedeck, it was the most impressive PowerPoint I have ever made. But as the meeting progressed, they were running out of time, [but] luckily, I had also created a slidedoc and was able to share that document. I have never been so grateful that I had signed up for your class!"

A bunch of us want to register. How many people do we need to qualify for a group rate?
Groups of 2-24 people get 25% off. Groups of 25+ get 50% off. Please email Hello@DepictDataStudio.com and let us know the staff members' names and email addresses. Then, we'll send you a single invoice with your group rate applied. It'll be much faster for you than enrolling people one at at time.
The registration page is adding sales tax, but my organization is tax-exempt. What should I do?
You can either: (1) pay the sales tax, request a refund from the hosting company (Teachable) later, and get your refund in 4-6 weeks; or (2) email our team at Hello@DepictDataStudio.com and we can send you an invoice through our accounting system without the sales tax.
Can we hire you for a private workshop?
Yes, I'd love to provide a workshop just for your team, either virtually or in-person! Please note: Group rates for online courses will always be more cost-effective than private workshops.
