Slides & Visuals Workshop
Better Slides. Half the Time.
Great slides don’t need fancy software — they need a clear story and simple visuals. This workshop equips you with practical techniques to design slides that capture attention and explain data effortlessly, using the everyday tools you already know, and save hours of rework.
Why Most Slides Fail to Deliver?
Even the strongest insights can fall flat without the right delivery. When slides lack flow, design principles, or efficient preparation, the message becomes harder to follow and the story gets lost. These are the traps that turn valuable analysis into forgettable presentations:
No clear flow
- the story gets lost in slides.
Weak design habits
- visuals distract instead of support.
Time drain
- effort multiplies without better outcomes.
Can your slides pass the 5-minute test?
Most slides fail in the first five minutes. Leaders either get lost in clutter, miss the main point, or lose patience with the flow. Take the 5-minute test and see if your slides deliver clarity, story, and impact — or if they’re falling into the traps we just uncovered.
The 4-Step Check
1. Show one slide to someone outside your team.
2. Give them 5 minutes
3. Ask: What’s the main message? What action would you take?
4. If they can’t answer, the slide fails.
