I know you’ll love this so much, I’ll hold the risk and refund your money if you don’t find value.
Early in my insights career, I failed massively. And It changed the direction of my whole life.
I learned to make slides on the vendor side. Clients were okay with our wordy slides, but then I moved to the corporate side, presenting to a totally different audience:
A global C-Suite that was not made up of English speakers.
On my first project, I presented my findings on wordy, witty, look-how-smart-I-am in slides to my grandboss, my manager’s manager—the Division Director.
It flopped completely. It was a disaster. He didn’t even let me finish.
I didn’t get yelled at or anything, but he was not happy. I had pretty much wasted his time.
Why?
❌ I didn’t think about what he needed to be able to make a smart decision
❌ I didn’t do the work to make that visual, clear, and easy for him to understand in seconds.
❌ I didn’t translate words into visual models, which transcend language, to save him the mental work of having to read and translate my wordy slides from English.
These ideas changed my life.
I left a few years later and started Slidedesignr to help analytical people bring their insights and ideas to life.
And after well over 10,000 hours of creating decks for a variety of companies (including the one I worked for!), I discovered a powerful process for creating deliverables that make a tangible impact.
A process I believe any smart person can learn, so they can create far better slides than they do now—without having to learn graphic design.
The ability to communicate your insights and ideas with visual impact is more crucial now than ever.
It can make your resume stand out, elevate your work, and raise your profile with clients and internal leadership.
I hope you see the value of these ideas as a way to potentially change your life, too.

Work is Changing. If You Have Trouble Communicating Your Insights & Ideas Visually, That’s a Bigger Problem Than You Might Think.
Before we can solve this problem, we need to accurately identify the problem.
When people reach out to Slidedesignr for help, universally, they think they have a design problem. “I’m not an artist, I’m not very creative, I’m not a designer, I can barely draw a stick figure”, that kind of stuff. You're not alone!
But I find over and over again that that’s not true—the problem is far deeper than that.
The basic idea is this: we have to present about something, and we sit down and we write. We write paragraphs, lists of bullets, and outlines. And then we go…great, how do I get from here...to impactful slides?
Or how do we take data from a lot of different sources, writing from a lot of slides, analyze that, and summarize it into a memorable, impactful image?
That’s not an art problem! That’s an analytical problem.
So, as an Insights Pro, I believe you have all the expertise you need to be able to solve this problem.
Why not just get a designer to do it for you?
Because being able to present your insights visually isn’t just a desirable skill—it's a necessity.
92% of business leaders* expect employees in non-design roles to have design skills and knowledge, according to Canva’s Visual Economy report.
There’s lots of ways to visualize things—even with Generative AI.
You no longer need to be an expert digital artist to generate cool-looking images.
(Since GenAI is just a mashup of the work digital artists put online.)
But what about when you need to create a visual model to communicate a new insight? Every project is different, so most insights work is custom.
So it’s likely not going to fit into a template.
And GenAI can’t generate custom visual models, since, again, it's a mashup of existing content.
So, I’m not convinced AI will help you with that.
The bad news is that, according to the same survey, 92% of business leadership also thinks AI has solved the visual communication problem.
Combined with the democratization of data collection, this could mean a lot of people trying to analyze data and crank out slides on their own.
It could even mean teams shrinking.
This means you’ll have to work harder to visually differentiate yourself and demonstrate your value as an insights veteran.
The Good News is —There’s a Way to Differentiate Yourself as an Insights Pro Who Delivers Impactful Slides that are 150% More Memorable, and That People Can Understand 60,000x Faster.
Rockstar slide designers know how to do one thing better than their competitors—they know how to optimize words and images for the human mind.
If you look at their slides, it isn’t obvious. When it’s done correctly, no one notices it.
This is what separates the Rockstars from everyone else.
And now, all of this is going to get boiled down and made dead simple for you.
By Following My 5-Step Formula, You'll Create Visual Models on Your Next Deck in Minutes, without Hours Wasted Scrolling for Inspiration.
Have you ever wondered why some slides are more impactful than others?
It’s not a cool-looking template. It’s not icons. It’s visual logic.
Did you know there are 5 different forms of logic that make the difference between a clear, easy-to-understand slide, and one that comes off as “busy”?
How many forms of logic do your slides use? Any?
Or are you blindly making slides, hoping that they make sense before the deadline?
If so, you’re not alone.
