We train the whole craft, not just the software.
Plenty of trainers can show your team which button to click. We go further, because we design high-stakes presentations for a living, so we teach how to build a deck, how to make it look sharp, and how to make it land.
Speed & shortcuts
The workflows, shortcuts, and build-it-once habits that give your team hours back every week.
Design & visual polish
How to make slides look clean, professional, and on-brand. No design degree required.
Message & structure
How to structure a deck so the point lands: what to cut, what to lead with, how to guide an audience.
Your corporate template
How to use your company template instead of fighting it, so every deck stays consistent.
And that's just the start. These four anchor every program, and we go deeper where it counts, from animation and data visualization to AI-assisted workflows.
PowerPoint is home base, but we go where your team works.
Pick the format that fits your team.
Proven programs that run from a single focused session to a multi-week series, delivered live, virtual, or in person. Need something more specific? Customization is available.
Customization available
Our core programs are ready to run as-is. Want the curriculum built around your own decks and templates? We can tailor it for an added investment.
Virtual or in person
Delivered live wherever your team is, whether remote, on-site, or hybrid. For in-person sessions outside the Ventura / Los Angeles area, travel is billed at cost.
What your team walks away with.
Training is only worth it if something changes on Monday morning. Here's what does.
Hours back every week
Shortcuts and smarter workflows that cut the time spent building and fixing slides, week after week.
Polished, on-brand decks
Slides that look professional and consistent, so the work reflects the quality of the thinking behind it.
Confidence and independence
People who stop calling for help and start solving slide problems themselves. Calmly, under deadline.
A team that works the same way
Shared habits and standards, so decks come together cleanly no matter who's building them.
Trained by the founders, every time.
Camille and Taylor run every engagement themselves. No junior trainers, no handoffs. Together, they've spent over two decades teaching PowerPoint and designing decks for teams that can't afford to look anything less than sharp.
Their training programs have reached 260,000+ professionals since 2014.
Camille Holden
Co-founder & Trainer
Camille leads training and presentation design at Nuts & Bolts. She's known for making genuinely dry material click, turning "I hate PowerPoint" into "wait, do that again." A Microsoft MVP with a designer's eye and a teacher's patience.
Taylor Croonquist
Co-founder & Trainer
Taylor is the shortcuts-and-productivity half of the team, with a finance background that means he gets the high-stakes, deadline-driven decks corporate teams actually live in. He teaches speed without ever losing the room.
