Frequently Asked Questions:

Is this a workshop about all the different features of PowerPoint, how to save a presentation, where to find the picture formatting tools, etc.?

We assume you're already computer savvy and know how to find your way around. Unlike many other courses out there, this workshop focuses entirely on how to use PowerPoint in the real world, rather than simply where all the different features are located. Each unit is packed full of strategies and techniques you can use every single time you work in PowerPoint. If it isn't useful for completing tasks today, we don't cover it.

Does the workshop include public speaking tips, crafting a better presentation (how many slides, how many bullets, etc.), story-boarding, or general tips on how to develop a better message?

This workshop focuses specifically on the technical applications of being 3x Faster working in PowerPoint. For all intents and purposes, this workshop assumes that you already know what you want to include in your presentation, and focuses on showing you how to build it as quickly as possible. If you are looking for guidance on how to build and deliver a "Steve Jobs" presentation, this workshop is not for you.

Is the workshop about building "warm and fuzzy" slides that entertain or dazzle an audience?

This workshop assumes your job is to build professional grade slides to impress your boss or colleagues in professional settings, not to build slides to show your holiday photos to friends on the weekend.

Will I learn how to create animations and slide transitions?

This workshop focuses on content heavy slides that are sent via email or printed for review...the types of slides where animations and slide transitions are irrelevant and a waste of time.

I've been using PowerPoint for 9 + years, will I learn anything?

If you can complete our Speed Challenge in less than two minutes, then you do not need to take this course. Otherwise, you will learn a repeatable system you can use to build slides, like those in our Speed Challenge, in record timing.

How fast can I become?

How much you get out of this workshop depends on how much you put into it. The goal is to teach you a systematic, repeatable system to quickly build content. If you are willing to learn our system and follow along with us, you'll have all the tools to build slides like the Challenge Slides in less than two minutes. To get a sense of how fast you are now, take our Speed Challenge (download or watch below), and compare your time to ours.

Why the focus on shapes, lines and textboxes?

We focus on improving the speed with which you accomplish everyday tasks in PowerPoint, using the core building blocks of professional presentations: shapes, lines and textboxes. These objects account for at least 80% of all the objects used in content heavy slides in the professional world, so being able to manipulate these core building blocks quickly and effectively is critical.

My company uses set templates. Will I still be able to get something out of this workshop?

Absolutely. Most templates are built using shapes, lines and textboxes, so learning our system will help you become an expert at manipulating your templates.

Can I take this course if I'm using a Mac?

Although a PC version of Office is used to teach this course, students have taken the course using the Mac version of Office and been extremely happy.

The primary difference between the two versions is the quick access toolbar and the keyboard driven ribbon, so a number of the speed tricks covered do not work on a Mac. That said, all the strategies and techniques for building your slides are 100% applicable to the Mac version of PowerPoint and will save you time.

If you are using a Mac version of Office, I encourage you to try the course as is and if you are not satisfied for whatever reason, refund the course within 30 days of purchase.

Which version of PowerPoint do I need to follow along?

You can follow along with PowerPoint 2007, 2010 or 2013. Throughout the workshop, we'll use PowerPoint 2013, but we’ll make note of any differences between the versions so that you can follow along regardless of which version you are using.
