‘Is it really possible to create a professional presentation with little creativity or design skills?’

Yes, it is. Because the real problem is not a design or creativity problem.

Most frustrating is the fact that you work online more and more, and people seem to be less and less attentive. You need a new approach to keep people engaged. Just adding some colorful slides is not going to resolve all of the issues because it lacks an empathic approach and the right communication strategies.

The length of each module varies per week and so does the amount of time you need for implementation and practice. Count on 2-4 hours per week and more if you want to explore and maximise your time investment now, so you save up a lot later when you will be designing more presentations.

6) Do you teach TECHNICAL SKILLS for the software tools I use?
There are so many different design tools, I possibly can not cover them all. Besides that in ‘Design Brilliant Digital Presentations’ I focus on design and visual communication skills. The skills I teach are skills you use regardless of a program or software tool. Most even apply on working on flipcharts or story walls. Having that said, for the purpose of this course I use PowerPoint. Occasionally I explain something which I demonstrate in PowerPoint or another software tool. The purpose of my demonstration is not for technical purpose but for showing you the visual possibilities in your communication. Most software tools include these technical options.

7) Which SOFTWARE TOOLS do I need for taking this course?
To start all you need is a design software tool like PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides. Other tools will be discussed later, but know that though it is possible, it is not needed to purchase additional tools.

8) I don’t know if I need ‘Speak Visually’. Can you advice when it is helpful to include?
There are no minimum requirements regarding skills to participate in ‘Design Brilliant Digital Presentations’, but I know many people want to create their own visuals, draw their processes and map out their concepts.
The ‘Speak Visually Method’ is helpful when you:
a) don’t have any drawing experience
b) you want revive your drawing skills
c) have not learned to express yourself using visual language (combining words, shapes, visuals, style and layouts)

9) Will I learn to design in my own style? (Downloadable designs make my presentations look like those from others.)
Yes! You learn to make your own designs, layouts and edit your images to your style. I even show you how to integrate your own (hand-drawn) visuals, sketches and models, should you like to use them.

10) FOR WHOM is this course interesting?
This course is particularly interesting for trainers, consultants, facilitators, managers, leaders, coaches, teachers and professors, who present in webinars, meetings, workshops, conferences, trainings, training video’s, live streams, lectures, etc.

Yes! There is possibility to ask questions and get feedback from me and fellow participants in every module of the course. And we have a monthly group call in which I help you with individual challenges and answer your questions.

13) Can I find the content of this course also somewhere online for free?
There are many people teaching design and presentations skills so I am sure you can find other courses on the internet for free and paid ones. I recommend you think about if you like to invest your time and energy for a certain period of time and learn with a single trainer, or if you want to learn in bits and pieces from different people (and invest additional time to find what you are looking for – if you know what you need to learn to accelerate).

The particular approach I am teaching in my course, are based on the Preparation Blueprint, Facilitation Blueprint and Design Blueprint I developed and work with myself.

14) Do I get HOMEWORK?
Every module contains lessons, practices and implementation assignments. From only watching the lessons you can learn something but it will not actualise your design skills. The practices are meant to integrate, play, test and learn. The assignments are there to make sure you get tangible results by the end of the course. The more you practice, the more satisfying the results will be. Should you choose not to do them, that means you also won’t see much differences in your slides and not increase the impact of your communication very much.

15) Cancellation and Refunds
100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If the course doesn’t turn out what you expected, we fully refund when you cancel within 10 days of your subscription. After that day, no refunds available when you cancel, if you do not show up, or if you stop after 10 days.

No issues at all. You don’t need any drawing skills to participate. If you like to develop them, then book the PLUS version, which includes my Speak Visually Method. This program is meant to help you learn basic drawing skills to get your message out of your head onto paper with markers.
