In today’s world of information clutter, it is absolutely critical to turn your data into visual experiences that leverage the mechanisms of great storytelling to maximize your impact

Show me, don’t tell me.For the first time ever, data presentation, which is visualizing data, makes it to the LinkedIn Skills List 2017 with the #8 spot. With statistical analysis and data mining holding strong again this year at #2, employers need employees who can present data so it’s easy for people to understand.

Data visualization tools and techniques offer executives and other knowledge workers new approaches to dramatically improve their ability to grasp information hiding in their data.

MASTERCLASS.

Whether it’s an analyst crunching numbers, a marketing professional needing to communicate in a data-driven way, or a leader responsible for presentations to clients, the board or other stakeholders, this masterclass will give participants the tools to tell more effective stories with data.

The goal of this 2-day masterclass is to enable participants to bring data to life and use it to communicate a data story to an audience, with a focus on impact and ease of interpretation.

This is accomplished through a mix of data visualization and storytelling theory, best practices, and practical application.

Participants will learn my 12 step process for developing visuals of their data and information.

They’ll learn exactly how to leverage data to tell stories in ways that are compelling and firmly grounded in research-based best practices.

Actual visualizations from the training material

I’ve spent hundreds of hours developing this program and I’ll share everything I’ve learned along the way plus all of my tools & techniques which I’ve acquired from thousands of hours of designing visualizations.

I’ll show participants how to push the right buttons in Excel and PowerPoint to make amazingly impactful data visualizations that are crystal clear.
