Some creators like Guy in a Cube, Curbal, and Pragmatic Works have playlists that follow a logical training flow. You could build your own slides around their structure and embed links for hands-on demos.LinkedIn SlideShare
There are a few Power BI intro decks on SlideShare that are free to download and customize. Just make sure to credit the original authors if you reuse them.Build Your Own with Power BI Sample Files
Use the built-in sample datasets (like Financials or Retail Analysis) and create a hands-on lab. Walk them through data modeling, DAX basics, and visuals step-by-step. It’s more engaging than just slides.
