Powerful Presentations is live next week, possibly the last live offering before I return to asynchronous courses, TBD.
Your tuition includes
- the live classes next week, so you can share your screen and think aloud with me about your unique dataviz challenges;
- a guided work session on creating accessible slidedeck templates for your team (999x more cost-efficient than hiring a communications company to make these for you, and 999x more time-efficient than guessing how to do it yourself);
- live Office Hours throughout 2024 and 2025 (the #1 reason that Super Students sign up for class after class);
- materials like handouts & ebooks;
- a bonus half-day training about making and marketing online workshops like these;
- asynchronous lessons from guest speakers so you can learn from public speaking coaches;
- asynchronous case studies so you can see how these skills can be applied to a variety of industries; and
- lifetime access to the latest version of the course. (If/when it's asynchronous next year, you get legacied-in to those lessons, too.)

Visual Frameworks, again (a student favorite!)
"The effort to pick the right visual metaphor transformed the way I understood my own content and how I should be teaching it," wrote this professor.

"After a Wake-Up Call"
A before-after makeover from a behavioral health provider. You can expect this type of transformation after taking Powerful Presentations.

FAQs
What if I can't make the live sessions?
We post the recordings to the course website immediately. We add auto-generated captions to the recordings, too.
Can I re-watch the class later?
Yes, and you'll get lifetime access to the recordings. "Lifetime" is a tricky word -- you'll get access for the lifetime of the course. As long as I'm offering Powerful Presentations, you'll get access to the recordings. I update the course every year or two, so you'll always get the latest and greatest version. In other words, the new 'n' improved course will replace the older course.
How long does it take to complete?
The course is the equivalent of a 2-day workshop (but broken into half-day segments). And, you'll be invited to 25+ hour-long Office Hours sessions each year, throughout 2024 and 2025. You *don't* need to complete 100% of the course to be successful. For example, you might choose to watch just some of the case studies that seem most relevant to your own workplace. The typical student attends some, but not all, of the live Office Hours sessions.
A bunch of us want to register. How many people do we need to qualify for a group rate?
Groups of 2-24 people get 25% off. Groups of 25+ get 50% off. Please email Hello@DepictDataStudio.com and let us know the staff members' names and email addresses. Then, our Operations Manager will send you a single invoice with your group rate applied. It'll be much faster for you than enrolling people one at at time.
The registration page is adding sales tax, but my organization is tax-exempt. What should I do?
You can either: (1) pay the sales tax, request a refund from the hosting company (Teachable) later, and get your refund in 4-6 weeks; or (2) email our team at Hello@DepictDataStudio.com and we can send you an invoice through our accounting system without the sales tax.
Oh no! My boss is out of the office, so I can't pay in time.
Please email our team ASAP at Hello@DepictDataStudio.com. We'll need to start processing your invoice so that you can attend the live class on November 4th.
Will you offer this course again?
Yes. In 2025, the structure might be different (might be offered as recordings, not live) and the tuition might be higher.
Can we hire you for a private Powerful Presentations workshop?
Yes, I'd love to provide a workshop just for your team, either virtually or in-person! Please note: My schedule fills months in advance, and group rates for online courses will always be more cost-effective than private workshops.
