Data Storytelling: Ensuring your Audience is Informed, Interested, and Inspired

Learn how to awaken and keep your audience's attention so they will understand and remember your data presentation.

We live in a world increasingly dominated by data. Data are used to make important decisions, shape business and political policy, and understand the fundamental workings of nature. But data can be complicated, mysterious, and difficult to understand. 

It is more important than ever to be able to communicate data in a way that is comprehensible and memorable, which is called data storytelling. Data storytelling is a skill, and the goal of this course is to help you improve this skill. An easy-to-apply framework for building an audience excited about your data.

At the end of the virtual workshop, participants will be able to:

• Speak the language of data

• Discover important context to understand data

• Craft compelling narratives with data

• Turn default graphs from tools, like MS Excel, into effective data communications

• Create rich informative data graphs and impactful data visualizations
