What Is in It for You
Outside of learning and developing skills… Funny you should ask.
We are also giving away free trials to LeaderGuide Pro, coaching sessions, and/or a collection of templates.
We are also willing to transform someone’s relatively small PowerPoint deck (25-50 slides) into a facilitator guide, participant guide, and agenda.
Giveaways
Each day, a drawing will be held for a license to LeaderGuide Pro. There will be a monthly license provided for each of the first four days. During the live demo, we will be giving away an annual software license.
If you already have LeaderGuide Pro, we will give you a free coaching session if you win the monthly license, and we will create a custom collection of templates if you win the annual license.
To qualify for the annual license, you need to:
Subscribe to our YouTube channel and comment “subscribed” on the “Welcome to PowerPoint Week video”
Follow our LinkedIn Page and comment “Followed” on the “Welcome to PowerPoint Week video”
To qualify for the monthly license, you need to:
Comment on that day’s social media posts.
Be the Example
On Friday, July 25th, we will be conducting a live demo of converting slides into a facilitator guide, participant guide, and agenda. We have a slide deck we can use, but why not help you in the process?
Feel free to submit a smallish PowerPoint deck (25-50 slides) with your information on the adjacent form. We will choose one, and at the end of the live event, we will provide you with all the materials that have been built. Please note that the slide deck you provide will be used and displayed during the livestream and made available as a recording afterward.
We Can’t Wait to See What You Create!
PowerPoint Week isn’t just about slides—it’s about helping you create better training materials and better learning experiences. By the end of the week, you’ll not only be more skilled with PowerPoint and LeaderGuide Pro, but you’ll have a toolkit of approaches and inspiration to make every training memorable.
So, mark your calendar, prep your slides, and get ready to discover new possibilities. Let’s make PowerPoint Week with LeaderGuide Pro a celebration of creativity, learning, and connection. See you Monday for Day 1!
