Course Description

“If you want people to make the right decisions with data, you have to get in their head in a way they understand. Throughout human history, the way to do that has been with stories”.

“For years, I’ve been trying to break certain barriers in storytelling – how best to engage my audience with presentations, and how to inspire action.

Higher education was limiting, and I found it challenging to build compelling stories. I also found it hard learning data storytelling in-depth through internal learning resources.

The frameworks & tips taught mades a world of difference. I am confident that this course will benefit all groups of people, not just client-serving teams but anyone keen to develop convincing, impactful and inspiring ways to deliver their story.
