Slides & Visuals Workshop

Create well-designed slides and data visualisations efficiently with your everyday tools

For every presentation we deliver in a corporate environment, we prepare a slide deck. However, this exercise is often long and painful because of

A lack of structure

Missing design best practices

Too much time spent on them

This is why we developed the Slide & Visuals Workshop, a course that trains any team presenting data to improve their slide design and efficiency on tools like PowerPoint and Excel

The course is based on the constatation that many business professionals lose time working on slides for a result that's often confusing and frustrating

A training made by a Finance Professional for Finance Professionals

I am Soufyan Hamid and with my 17 years of experience in Finance, FP&A, Audit and Consulting, I've seen the same things as you

Prepared the same reporting
Delivered the same presentations
Worked on the same budgets and forecast

But one thing changed my career: Financial Storytelling

I looked for ways to improve my presentations and followed training about (data) storytelling, delivered a TEDx talk and joined the Toastmasters.

That made me realize how the gap was important between Finance and the other departments in mutual understanding.

So I decided to work on the most important aspects of this mutual understanding to create a program allowing a better collaboration, communication and problem-solving mindset.

This "bridging-the-gap" strategy allows a strong collaboration between Finance and Non-Finance
