Play Video
PowerPoint Templates That Work is my step-by-step proven system for building, editing and deploying your very own customized PowerPoint template that works in your organization.

Literally step-by-step and nothing is left out!

This BRAND NEW 9-module reading course walks you through exactly how to create and work with your very own customized template in PowerPoint.

The truth is… most PowerPoint templates don’t work (even in large organizations).

And there are a variety of reasons why they might not be working, including missing placeholders, wrong colors and fonts, mismatched custom layouts, and a bunch of other ‘gotchas’ that can pop up when building out a template.

And the worst part is that all it takes is 1 broken template to ruin every single presentation you create or edit

That’s why if you and/or your team are continually frustrated in PowerPoint building your presentations, it’s probably not PowerPoint that is the problem, it’s your company template.

And if you don’t fix your template, who will?

It’s your job to make sure you’re using PowerPoint to its fullest – even if you don’t have a say over the corporate template you’re using or the practices of your clients or colleagues.

How long will you wait until you address the elephant in the room that’s making your life harder than it needs to be?

How many hours will you continue to waste on performing unnecessary tasks and on putting out fires?

How many presentations will you continue to build on a shaky (at best) foundation?

PowerPoint templates are the very bedrock of your presentations – whether you use custom or generic ones – and they influence absolutely EVERYTHING:

  • Whether or not your fonts, colors and branding display properly…
  • Whether the slides you copy and paste into your presentation convert properly…
  • Whether your content displays on screen (and prints) the way you want it to…
  • Whether you can edit content without detonating hidden landmines that totally derail your workflow and process…

This means that no matter what your experience with templates, you’re 100% reliant on them, whether you know it or not.

And it means you NEED to make sure that you are using a real PowerPoint template that WORKS.

Knowing how to build one properly will benefit EVERYTHING you do in PowerPoint.

Plus, understanding how the underpinnings of the software work will help you better use the program in general and avoid many of the big frustrations people encounter daily.

In PowerPoint Templates That Work, you’ll learn the fastest and best way to build, edit and distribute your very own custom PowerPoint template across your organization with confidence that it will finally WORK

What if I don’t use templates often or if I already have a template? Is this course still right for me?

Absolutely.

All it takes is 1 broken template to ruin every single presentation you create or edit. So knowing how to build one properly will benefit EVERYTHING you do in PowerPoint.

Plus, understanding how the underpinnings of the software work will help you better use the program in general and avoid many of the big frustrations people encounter daily.

 

You can learn to build PowerPoint templates on your own, but it will take you years of trial and error to figure out how to do it the right way (just like it took me).

That’s why I created PowerPoint Templates that Work, to save you the years of trial, error and frustration, so you can just sit down and build your template the way you want it (and know that it will work like it’s supposed to).

PowerPoint Templates that Work covers the entire process of designing, building and deploying your very own custom template, from point A to point B, with no steps left out. That way, you get a 360 degree understanding and you fill in the gaps in what you don’t know.

Building a custom PowerPoint template isn’t hard once you know what you’re doing, but it’s not very intuitive either.

And that’s why I built this course to spare you the pain and frustration of having to figure it out on your own.

Unlike on YouTube, where the shortness of attention demands that I only cover so much…

In this course, I take you in depth. This is a comprehensive and well thought-out system that is designed to be interactive and exercise-driven. That way, you can follow along step by step as I guide you from a blank document to a full functional template of your own design.

The course is composed of detailed PDF lessons with images and examples, exercises for you to complete, bonus video demos, and more.


On top of that, PowerPoint templates that works has includes a module on template design (so you create something you are proud of) as well as two full modules on how to properly deploy your template so your team knows how to use it.​

This course is designed to be accessible to anyone with any level of PowerPoint experience.

That being said, if you’re totally new to PowerPoint, you may have to work a bit harder to keep up with some of the PowerPoint terms and features.

But don’t be alarmed – you actually have an advantage over experienced users! And it’s that you start with a true blank slate, without any pre-existing misconceptions (or false beliefs) about templates.

As for experienced users, please don’t worry either. This course will blow your mind on many fronts and is guaranteed to teach you all the little nuances of how to properly build a template (many of which you’ve probably never heard of before or had time to consider).

Absolutely.

Templates essentially work the same regardless of your version of PowerPoint.

The main differences are in the way the templates are saved and shared, and I cover each of these differences inside the course.

In PowerPoint Templates That Work, you get:

  • 24/7 unlimited access to your student dashboard with everything you need right there.
  • 9 step-by-step modules of lessons and exercises (all in downloadable PDF format) to walk you through the entire process of designing, building and deploying a template that works.
