Four tools.
One great
presentation.
Use them in order, or jump straight to the one you need. Each one does a specific job — together, they do all of it.
Built on
30 years in
the room.
Three decades of teaching, designing, and studying what actually works — distilled into a course that grounds you in the theory and then puts the tools straight in your hands.
When you overload a slide — too many points, too much text, too many ideas — the working memory fills up and nothing sticks. The brain doesn't process overflow. It discards it.
People reliably remember what comes first, what comes last, and what gets repeated. That's not a theory — it's a pattern that holds across virtually every audience. Once you know it, you design your presentation completely differently than you'd write a paper or a report.
The brain organises information into schemas — patterns it already knows. If your presentation has a clear shape, the brain files it. If it doesn't, the brain drops it.
When people read text on a slide, they stop listening. The brain can't process the same information in two different channels simultaneously. Most slides sabotage the presenter speaking them.
