This workshop is designed to develop the ability to create impactful slide decks and enhance your presentation skills.

No matter the audience you’re presenting to, a strong visual presentation can determine whether you 'get to yes' with your stakeholders. 

Participants will move from the founding principles of design (Gestalt) to storytelling techniques. We will move from best practices for designing slides (including data-rich slides) to combining those slides into a highly impactful data story.
