Experiential Design for Presenters
The Presentation Lab Manual and Workspace
Since June, more than 300 professionals have used The Presentation Lab Manual to design their presentations. It includes applied research you can engage with directly, ready-to-use templates for designing your presentation and visuals, speech-rate and content-planning calculators, a dedicated design workspace built into the manual, and direct support when needed.
Experiential Design for Better Presentations
-
A private online space to design your presentation, save your work, and return anytime.
-
Submit your visuals or outlines and get personalized suggestions. Ask questions, get real answers.
-
Not sure how much content to include? This tool helps you figure out how many pages you’ll need.
-
Find out if you speak too quickly (or too slowly) and adjust your pace for clarity.
-
Quick-start templates to help you plan, organize, and record your talk effectively.
-
Jeopardy and Family Feud generators, interactive tools, slide design tips, and more.
-
Based on data from decades of real-world presentations, classroom testing, and facilitator feedback.
Over 300 people since June, 2026
“The resource is so useful. It took a scary (for me) topic and made delivering presentations very successful.”
“One of the few training courses I’ve taken that is immediately useful.”
“I loved having access to the personal workspace. I used it to ask for feedback on my design and for help on creating some of the activities I used in my presentation.”
“Best way to learn about presenting. You learn it and then do it.”
“The design template and using the mic feature cut the time it took me to develop my presentation in half.”
“I always used to cram too much info in my presentations. The calculator helped me be realistic about how much content I could include.”
“I found out that I speak too quickly. And I learned how to slow my delivery down a bit.”
I designed this for:
Subject matter experts, students, researchers, safety, policy or technical professionals who have important information to share but don’t love public speaking.
People who might be reluctant to be in the spotlight—they just want to communicate clearly and help people learn.
People who want to use an experiential, structured, practical approach to design and delivery.
Anyone who has struggled with nerves, losing their audience, or feeling out of their element when presenting.
