Final practice project: A corporate-wellness pitch deck for Nora Vance Coaching

A practice assignment from Nora Vance Coaching (Online strength and nutrition coaching for women over 40). You will see the scoring guide (rubric) before you start.

What we check	What earns the full 4 points
Brief followed	Ten slides for a pilot decision, Nora’s facts and prices exact, all deliverables present
Argument	One sentence filled honestly; three reasons each with proof; ask dated; titles alone make the case
Slide craft	One idea per slide, body under 30 words, planned visuals, charts highlight one point with a source line, brand applied
Notes and flow	Notes in voice under 90 words with transitions; timings fit the slot; appendix anticipates the skeptical questions
Delivery	Export pack complete and named; leave-behind version distinct; delivery message useful

Honest expectations. AI deck builders produce beautiful slides that say nothing. The paid skill is the argument: what the audience must believe by the last slide and the three reasons that get them there. This track makes you write the one sentence and the outline before any tool touches a slide, and it makes every slide title a claim, not a topic.
