How to use this template

Cover: a number of lessons and where they came from.
One lesson per slide, as an instruction.
Put the most surprising one in the middle.
End by asking readers for theirs.

Tip: Lessons tied to a specific event read as experience; generic ones read as quotes.

FAQ

How many lessons should a carousel have?

Five to eight; fewer feels thin, more gets skimmed.

How do I write a lessons-learned post?

Pick one project, list what you would do differently, and keep each lesson to one sentence.

Is this template free?

Yes. Slidler is free and needs no account. Free exports carry a small “made with slidler.com” mark.

What size are the slides?

1080×1350 pixels (4:5 portrait), the size LinkedIn and Instagram show largest in the feed. LinkedIn gets a PDF; Instagram gets a zip of PNGs.
