Design Effective Slides
Online Course: Learn from a Professional Presentation Designer
We received great feedback and the slides really helped tell the story. And then today we received a “unanimous thumbs up” to proceed with the deal!
What if your business presentations led to traction and agreement, if people came up to you after you present to tell you they were impressed?
Instead of the same old semi-decent job...
You worked hard to be in the room to present. Now you have this ONE shot to make your message count... only:
Your slides are dull. You've never had any training in presentation design.
You have a hard time showing complex information in a clear (dare I say even FUN) way.
You sometimes feel you leave opportunity on the table after you present—like you could have achieved better alignment.

“The best thing is – the very first sales presentation I gave with the new slides resulted in a sale!”
— Bill Q., Founder“This was educational, informational, and made me look good in my marketing role. I can't overstate how important and valuable this has been for our startup.”
Jen W., VP of Marketing“I've had several decks designed in the past but have never had one I loved until now.”
Mahmood U., Chief Operating OfficerI share my slide design formula. I'm known for being strategic, but my formula itself is short and easy to understand and apply. This is the exact formula I use when I design anything from a winning pitch deck to a staff update to a conference keynote.
✔ 3-step slide design formula
✔ Applying it in a variety of settings
✔ Live design demos
You don't have time to learn design from scratch, nor do you need to do that to have persuasive slides.
In this section, I'll teach you how to edit and tweak the most important parts of your slides to strengthen your messages:
✔ Finding and editing photos
✔ Finding and editing icons
✔ Designing & emphasizing charts
✔ Designing & emphasizing tables
✔ Designing & emphasizing maps
✔ Important animations
Throughout the course, I do live design demos and tutorials where I design slides from scratch or from general templates, so you get a sense of exactly how I would do things if I had slides like yours!
✔ Live design demos
✔ You get the 'why' and the 'how'
✔ Tons of downloadable resources:
from all the slides we design in class to examples of good titles, editable helper slides and more
“I continue to get compliments on how elevated our look has become and it's all because of you!”
My design agency has worked with the biggest international companies.
Last year alone, pitch decks I designed raised over $1 Billion.
when you walk into your next presentation with a strong, persuasive deck
Our bonus materials can be used and reused in endless future decks
Along with editable versions of all tables we design in class, you'll get an extensive editable project plan table!
You get editable maps of the US and the world, so you can easily highlight the areas you work, you want to expand to, and more.
You’ll get a deck of editable processes for linear, circular, and step-wise processes to cover everything you need for timelines, processes, or milestones to a goal.
“I got a big compliment on my slides today! This is the first time that's happened to me in the four years I've been at the firm. Thank you!! My colleagues said my slides were so good I could teach a master class on slide design!”
Savera T., Project Manager“A colleague just asked me if I'd done the deck myself because of all the improvements I've been making!”
Lindsey L., Strategy Expert“Not to keep on bragging about it, but I got another compliment on my presentation today. lol
Thanks again!”
To sum it up, here's everything you get when you enroll today:
Founder of the Linia Lab presentation design agency
The Persuasive Presentations Course if for anyone who creates and gives presentations, but does not have a design background to make their slides and ideas stand out. It assumes zero background knowledge of design principles or PowerPoint. The course starts at the very beginning and will give you targeted tutorials to learn how to create impactful slides. The course is perfect for: start-up founders, business professionals, consultants and freelancers, and PowerPoint beginners.
As soon as you hit “Enroll” and process your payment, you’ll receive instant access to the entire course. You'll retain access to the course for two years.
I’m confident you’ll learn so much with Persuasive Presentations. If for some reason the strategies inside this course aren’t for you, we can refund your purchase up to 7 days after the purchase date.
I completely understand! I work with a lot of busy clients. That's why I created a course where you can go at your own pace, and why I broke up the lessons to be very short and digestible. And you can take as long as you need between lessons. If you still need ready made materials, rather than a course, have a look at my editable templates at linialab.com.
All the demos are in PowerPoint, as it's currently the most robust design software for presentations. There is a bonus module on importing your deck to Google Slides, if that's your preferred presentation system.
As a professional presentation designer, I've looked through and taken a lot of the presentation courses out there.
There's nothing like this guide on the market.
