Level Up Your Presentations
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...
I See You.
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.
Persuasive Presentations is made for you
Get the proven formula for compelling slides
Even with no background in slide design or PowerPoint, the step-by-step tutorials in the course will make you look like a seasoned professional.
Your slides will be transformed into compelling, visual experiences that leave an impression.

SECTION 01
Slide Design Formula
I 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
SECTION 02
Designing for Impact
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
SECTION 03
Live Demos & Downloadable Resources
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'm Boriana
Founder of the Linia Lab presentation design agency
In my career as a presentation designer, I've worked with companies like Indeed, Samsung, and Zola. I've designed official TED Talks and even designed the winning pitch deck for one of Time Magazine's Best Inventions of the Year.
After working with countless founders, CEOs, consultants, marketers, coaches, and business leaders to design and polish their most important presentations, I saw the tremendous need for better practices in presentations.
These days, so much important information is shared in—and so many important decisions are made in—meetings. And those of us with strong, compelling presentations have a huge advantage.
This is why I created this course—to give you the know-how to improve your decks and supercharge your influence and career.

FAQ
-
Who is The Persuasive Presentations Course for? Should I join?
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.
-
Will I get instant access?
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.
-
What is your refund policy?
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’m super busy. Do I have time for this?
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.
-
What presentation software do you use in the course?
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.
-
How does this differ from other presentation design courses?
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.
- Pitch-focused courses cover slide content. But they gloss over effective design or suggest you use templates
- While PowerPoint-focused courses go straight into design tricks: they ignore content principles and feel like a dump of PowerPoint features.
This course takes a holistic approach. In just a few lessons, you'll learn my design formula and learn the most essential PowerPoint features to create slides that persuade. And you can download the slides I design and use them in all your future presentations.
