## How can I make my workshop slides more engaging and memorable?

Upload your deck to an AI and ask it to swap long listening stretches for recall questions, worked examples and short practice tasks. Claude fits best when you want the edited deck back as a PowerPoint file, which works on every plan as of October 2026. ChatGPT or Gemini work well for the slide-by-slide change list you then apply yourself. Add your own teaching guide if you have one, so the changes follow methods you already trust.

## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Attached is my workshop deck for [YOUR AUDIENCE, e.g. new managers at small firms]. The session runs [SESSION LENGTH, e.g. 90 minutes]. If I've attached a teaching guide, follow it. If not, use well-tested learning methods: recall practice, worked examples, spacing, and asking people to explain ideas in their own words.

1. Go through the deck and mark every stretch of three or more slides where people only listen.
2. For each one, suggest one change: a quick recall question, a worked example, a two-minute practice task, or a turn-and-explain moment. Keep my content and voice.
3. Add a short recap slide that asks people to recall the key points from memory, not reread them.
4. Show me a change list first, slide by slide, with the extra minutes each change adds so we stay within the session length.
5. After I approve, make the updated deck as a PowerPoint file.
```

## Step by step

1. Save your workshop deck as a PowerPoint or PDF file.
2. Add a short guide to teaching methods you trust, if you have one, as a second file.
3. Open Claude, attach the files, and paste the prompt with your audience filled in.
4. Review the change list, then ask Claude for the updated deck as a PowerPoint file.

## What you'll get

A slide-by-slide change list with timings, then an updated deck with recall questions, worked examples and practice moments built in.
