Workshop / Storytelling with Data
An engaging, hands-on workshop that transforms how students and professionals present data — so they don’t just show charts, they drive action.
The problem
Even the best data teams struggle when their insights don’t land. From business schools to boardrooms, the same issues repeat:
Whether you’re early in your career or developing internal talent, this is a communication gap I can help close.
What the workshop covers
Before you build a chart, ask: who’s in the room, what do they care about and what decision do they need to make?
Like planning a surprise party — knowing whether your friend loves loud music or hates attention makes all the difference.
Not every story needs a bar chart. Show change over time with a line; compare categories with bars.
Like Google Maps: you wouldn’t switch to satellite view to check traffic.
Unnecessary lines, grids and labels fight for attention and hide what matters.
Like decluttering your closet — once the noise is gone, your favourite pieces stand out.
Use colour, size and position to direct attention to the key point.
Like a flashlight in a dark room. You decide what to highlight.
Facts tell, stories sell. Insights need structure, sequence and a clear ask.
Like a good joke — it needs setup, timing and a punchline.
The next chapter
Design vision. Strong teams. Products that earn trust.
