Book a 1:1 consultation with me

Let’s work together.

That’s it.

I’ve pretty much described the core of this service.

This isn’t a coaching call where we just work on your mindset and motivation. We’re going to actually work on your slides, script, infographic, report, or communication product together.

We will spend 90 minutes together on zoom.

That’s 1.5 hours completely dedicated to you ~

Client case study (Job Talk)
Dr. Isabel García Valdivia

Dr. García Valdivia first completed my online professional development program and a 1-and-1 session as a graduate student.

She had been implementing her new presentation design skills for a while…

…Then, when it was time for her academic job talk, she reached out and we did four 1-and-1 sessions.

She did four campus visit interviews and received three offers!

I’ve helped clients improve their keynotes, job talks, teaching demos, dissertation/masters defenses, training workshops, and conference talks.

Client case study (Dissertation)
Dr. Tehout Selameab’s Dissertation Intensive

Dr. Selameab was burned out and had a lot on her plate, but she needed to get her dissertation done, fast.

We did a full-day intensive. See what we accomplished in just one day.

Let’s work together on your most important presentations…

For anyone who just needs to get their idea out into the world:

  • TEDx/TED talk

  • Keynotes or paid talks

  • Book tour talks

  • YouTube, etc videos

If this sounds scary, impossible, or overwhelming then I will help break this down into manageable steps that align with your personality and resources.

Massive introvert who hates being on camera? No problem. Neurodivergent? You are welcome here.

This page describes my 1:1 service for presentations that have a non-profit goal or call to action. If you are an entrepreneur who wants help with their sales webinar/marketing presentation, or videos for your business then please use the contact form below before booking and we’ll go from there!

Client case study (Keynote)
Dr. Tanya Golash-Boza

Dr. Golash-Boza first completed Fail-Proof Slide Design and then reached out for 1-and-1 services to improve her keynote.

She already had a recording of her delivering the keynote, so we customized the service.

I spent the first “session” watching (independently) the recording and provided written feedback about the script/storyboard and delivery.

Then, we met 1-and-1 on Zoom to review the feedback and improve the visual slides of her keynote.

…Years later, Dr. Golash-Boza continues to receive compliments about her presentation design and organization!

We can also work together on other creative communication projects…

I can help with a variety of creative communication materials*.

Infographics

Custom graphics, dataviz, models ( for reports, pubs, and publications)

Comics

Visual report summaries
& slide docs

Workbooks

Videos

I created my first video-based online course in 2014 and also have a YouTube channel…so I can definitely help!

  • Presentations

  • Infographics

  • Visual report summaries & “slide docs”

  • Custom models, dataviz, and graphics

  • Handouts or workbooks

  • Visually engaging reports

  • Videos

  • Zines or booklets

Some materials are not eligible for “done for you” design services, and only training/technical assistance can be offered. This typically happens if the material is made using software I am not familiar with or don’t have a subscription to. If you want to confirm whether I can do design work on a product or deliverable you have in mind, contact me before purchasing.

Presentations

This is my speciality, and I help with any educational presentation — keynotes, research/evaluation project results, training workshops, job talks/teaching demos, course lectures, community education trainings, and anything along those lines.

Here’s how our session will go

You book a session and send me whatever you are working on.

For example:

  • A presentation script

  • A presentation file (slide deck)

  • A description of the idea you want to get known for

  • Anything that helps me better understand what you’d like to talk about

We meet on zoom and work together.

  • You will be given permission to record the session on your computer.

  • If you purchased additional review time before our session, I share what I’ve done so far and you provide initial feedback.

  • We work together for our entire session; I take the lead and do the heavy lifting (I edit your materials while sharing my screen).

After our session is finished, there will be time to discuss options for continuing to work together (if you want, zero pressure)

After our session I send you the revised materials from our session.

For example:

  • your revised script

  • your revised presentation file

  • a strategic map/action plan

3 key things to know about this session

This is not a sales call.

You’re not just going to hear me tell you I can help you.

I will actually help you make progress.

I will give you feedback, make revisions, and come up with creative ideas just for you.

This includes some of my “done for you design” service by default.

(because I edit/design your materials and send them back to you).

Additional consulting services are available!

After our initial session is over, we can brainstorm a custom consulting package that best meets your needs.

Even if you want a package of sessions or additional services, most clients like being able to just book one single session first and decide from there. We can always stop there if it meets your needs. But, if you decide you want to continue working with me, here are a few options we can talk about after our session is over:

A package of short sessions
(60- or 90-minute sessions)

A half- or full-day working intensive (or a package of them)

Switch to “done for you” services. If our session ended up being exclusively planning for that specific product, the fee for our first session will be applied to the total design services cost.

A custom combination of collaborative sessions, professional development, and/or “done for you” services:

  • Script editing/ghostwriting

  • Presentation slide design

  • Data visualization design

  • Infographic/handout design

  • Graphic design (e.g., website or social media graphics)

  • Video editing

  • Access to my online professional development course

There will be no pressure to purchase any of the above during our session, and I will not ask for payment during the session. If you do want to continue working with me, we will brainstorm a custom package together and then I will email those details to you later with a link to purchase whenever you’re ready.
