Story to Slides
Build the story. Bring it to the screen.

A free, two-part live series with Aleya Harris and Rick Altman

Your expertise deserves more than a presentation people politely survive.

I’m bringing presentation expert Rick Altman into the room for two sessions that connect what you say with what people see. We’ll build a stronger story, then turn it into slides that help your message land.

Because a prettier template cannot rescue a presentation that has no idea where it’s going.

This is practical guidance from people who do this work for a living. Bring what you learn to your next keynote, workshop, pitch, or presentation, so your audience leaves remembering your message instead of recovering from your slides.

Both sessions are free. Join either or both; register separately for each.

You’re two sessions away from creating more “wow,” “you changed my life,” and “how can I work with you” from the stage

PART 1: START WITH THE STORY

Tuesday, November 10, 2026
11:00 a.m.–noon Pacific · Live on Zoom
Aleya teaches · Rick hosts

Before you open PowerPoint, give your presentation a clear reason to exist.

We’ll explore how to find the central idea beneath your expertise, shape a compelling narrative, and connect your message to what you want your audience to do next.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Find the throughline that keeps your presentation focused

  • Organize your ideas into a story people can follow

  • Make the connection between “here’s my point” and “here’s why you should care”

PART 2: BRING IT INTO SLIDES

Your slides are not a storage unit for everything you know.

Rick will explore how to translate your story into clear visuals and make design decisions that support your message instead of competing with it. Your audience’s eyeballs will appreciate the consideration.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Turn key ideas into visuals that reinforce your story

  • Guide attention toward what actually matters

  • Bring your slides and delivery together into a cohesive presentation
