Persuasion presentation training
Convert your ideas into effective visuals and slides with Slide:ology®In this workshop, you’ll learn to apply visual thinking and design principles to convert your ideas into persuasive and effective visual presentations.
When we design slides, we can fall into classic traps — from overusing bullet points and cramming multiple ideas on one slide, to using lots of colors, shapes, and fonts. When presenting to an audience, these slides often fail to convey what we most need the audience to know.
We blame PowerPoint, Slides, or Keynote when we wind up with cluttered unattractive slides, but presentation software is just a vehicle for our communication. We forget that it’s our job to communicate our ideas, yet our visuals can obscure those ideas, because visual expression isn’t easy or intuitive. We may not have learned it in school but thinking visually is crucial in persuasive communication and public speaking.
Bringing together compelling content with engaging visuals is a powerful way to move an audience. The Slide:ology® workshop helps you get better at the visual part. It’s not about pretty pictures, it’s about persuasive visual communication.

Here’s what past participants had to say about this workshop.
“The concepts I learned in this class are directly applicable to the work I do. Implementing what I learned will help me be more strategic in planning and creating my presentations, so I can better communicate what I actually want my audience to hear.”
“Duarte’s Slide:ology was an eye opener to me as a designer. Even though I knew some of the concepts, the session provided a structure to those and how I can apply them in my work. … Great value for the time which I had spent in this session.”
“Slideology was a fun learning experience that will help our team be more intentional with presentation design. We walked away with a shared focus on simplicity and a shared language for critiquing our work.”
“The tools and tips I’ve learned in this course are 100% effective at helping me create meaningful slides. As a result, I am more productive and efficient with slide communications.”
“Duarte’s Slide:ology gave me, someone who is not a visual designer, the tools and confidence to create slides that pack a visual punch. I always knew they were missing the final touch, and now I’m sure I’ll continue to make slides I am proud to share!”
“Instead of reading all the information and then losing the enthusiasm or trial energy in a busy work life, you can directly use what you learn and get answers for your questions and feedback on what you do, interactively at this workshop!.”
“The highly curated, action-oriented training materials and approach have super-charged my slide creation skills. I can now take ANY slide and critically analyze it for what can be removed, what should be added, [and] how to make it memorable.”
“It became very clear while working through this training that my existing presentations could [be] simplified to get the exact message across, rather than displaying a lot of unnecessary information. Had a lot of fun and would definitely recommend.”
“I could not have been more satisfied with the training. We learned countless concepts and skills that will improve every presentation slide I make from now onward. The training itself was engaging, fun, and insightful.”
