This course takes you further.
Tools like Beautiful.ai or other AI presentation generators are great for getting a deck started quickly. But if you're using them, you know: most people hit a wall at some point.
The layouts don't quite fit and the slides don't look the way you want them to. Knowing how to go the extra mile to edit and refine what AI generates is where the real skill lives! This course gives you exactly that.
“The course was excellent. I had never learned PowerPoint properly and had been using beautiful.ai, but sometimes felt constrained. This course was just what I needed.”
You worked hard to be in the room to present. Now you have this ONE shot to make your message count... only:
You've never had any training in PowerPoint editing and your slides are a bit dull.
You have a hard time showing complex information in a clear (dare I say FUN?) way.
You sometimes feel your message isn't landing the way it deserves to – like your content is stronger than your slides.

“A colleague just asked me if I'd done the deck myself because of all the improvements I've been making!”
“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.”
“I continue to get compliments on how elevated our look has become and it's all because of you!”
“The best thing is – the very first sales presentation I gave with the new slides resulted in a sale!”
“I've had several decks designed in the past but have never had one I loved until now.”
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
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
My design agency has worked with the biggest international companies.
Last year alone, pitch decks I designed raised over $1 Billion.

“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!”
“Not to keep on bragging about it, but I got another compliment on my presentation today. Lol. Thanks again!”
“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!”

Founder of the Linia Presentations design agency
The "PowerPoint Masterclass" Course is for anyone who creates and gives presentations, but does not have a design background. 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 this "PowerPoint Masterclass." 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.
