Build Better Slide Decks
"Andrew lays out a true start-to-finish approach to creating slide decks."
"This book belongs in every professional’s toolkit."
Build Better Slide Decks gives you the tools to turn cluttered slides into clear messages that drive action. Too many decks leave audiences guessing at the main point, slowing decisions, and leaving audiences disengaged. This book shows you how to create slides that clarify ideas and deliver results whether you are presenting, facilitating a meeting, or preparing slide-based reports.
Know Yourself. Know Others. Live Better.
