learn the techniques behind the slides

After attending our workshops, participants are often eager to apply what they have learned to their own work. However, some have concerns about the lack of the practical skills and tool know-how to implement effective data storytelling strategies. Recognizing this challenge, the SWD team is excited to announce a new on-demand video course that bridges the gap between theory and practice. The behind the slides: good to great PowerPoint presentations course allows individuals to learn and develop skills at their own pace and from the comfort of their own space.

This new offering builds upon the popular good-to-great mini-workshop presentation, in which Cole takes a collection of disparate data and transforms it into a stellar story.

We’re keen to bring you an expansion of this mini-workshop, which we’ve developed into a comprehensive, step-by-step learning experience to show you how Cole created her graphs and slides. By focusing on real-world examples and practical techniques, the course empowers you to quickly elevate your data communication skills. 

Course Structure

You’ll have access to 31 distinct video lessons across 5 core learning modules:

  1. Get Ready to Learn introduces the course structure and key PowerPoint features.
