Course Overview

Humans have been telling stories since the beginning of existence. We’re wired to connect with narratives that we can relate to. In fact, stories are 22x more memorable than facts alone. And when you add data, facts, and statistics to the mix, audience engagement goes up by 300%! Whether you're seeking leadership buy-in, rallying support for an idea, or simply aiming to strengthen your presentation skills, data-driven storytelling is a powerful tool — and we’ll teach you how to do it in this course. Throughout three modules, you’ll learn how to bring your data to life and craft your ideas into engaging narratives. From mastering the fundamentals of effective visualization to building compelling narratives, we’ll equip you with the skills you need to influence and inform your audience using tried and true data visualization and storytelling techniques.
