Powerful Presentations That Move People
Make Presentations That Drive Decisions
Most teams know how to make slides. But few know how to tell a story. That’s where I come in.
The Problem
Let’s be honest—most business presentations are too long, too dense, and too forgettable.
We’ve all sat through presentations packed with text, cluttered data, and no clear takeaway.
It’s not that your team isn’t smart or capable—it’s that no one ever taught them how to turn their insights into a compelling story.
That’s a big problem when you're trying to:
Influence executive decision-making
Build internal alignment
Move a client toward a “yes”
Poor communication costs time, momentum, and opportunities. But it’s a skill that can be taught.
The Solution
Presentation Skills That Actually Stick
Designing and delivering presentations for an executive audience
Most professionals receive zero training on crafting effective presentations, yet they're expected to communicate clearly to busy executives who need to grasp information quickly and make decisions confidently.
This session gives your team the tools to create presentations that are structured, intentional, and built for impact at the highest levels.
They’ll learn to:
Understanding Your Audience & Tailoring Messaging – How to present differently to a CFO versus a CMO
Clear & Concise Messaging – How to curate information rather than collect it
The Anatomy of a Perfect Slide – The components of a visually-driven, effective slide
How to Prepare Your Talk Track – Making your verbal delivery complement, not duplicate your slides
Effectively Handling Q&A – Preparation techniques that lead to handling questions with ease
Data Storytelling
Crafting engaging, clear, data-centric presentations
I offer two core training experiences designed to solve the most common presentation pain points:
Data is now everyone's responsibility, but most professionals struggle with data overload and cluttered slides that fail to highlight the key insights executives need.
This session teaches your team how to transform raw data into compelling, visual stories that support insight-driven conversations and action.
They’ll learn to:
The Pyramid Principle & Leading with Insights – How to structure communication for maximum impact
How to Decide What Data to Include – Curating data and deciding what belongs in the body versus the appendix
Tailor a Data Story to the Audience – Understanding the data literacy and appetite of your audience
Choosing the Right Chart for the Story – Matching the visualization that best depicts your data
Highlighting Trends & Outliers – Techniques to bring your data story to life
The Transformation
From Slide Struggles to Slide Confidence
Before Training:
“This deck doesn’t tell a story.”
“It’s too long—what’s the point?”
“We’ll just edit it the night before.”
After Training:
A clear, concise message at the center of every presentation
Visually clean, easy-to-follow slides
Confident presenters who actually enjoy the process
“Straight to the point and extremely effective! A must-have training for executive-level presentations.”
How It Works
What Flexible Formats to Fit Your Team
Both Executive Storytelling and Data Storytelling are available as:
2-Hour Masterclasses – Great for Lunch & Learns or team offsites
Half-Day Workshops – More hands-on time with guided practice
Full-Day Intensives – Practice and feedback using your team’s real slides
Need ongoing support or something custom? I also offer presentation coaching, slide feedback, and team prep ahead of big meetings.
