Who this is for
Teams that struggle with dry, data-heavy presentations and want to make their insights more impactful, memorable, and human. Perfect for analysts, marketers, consultants, and client-facing roles.
Workshop overview
Bullet points. Bar graphs. Pie charts. Paragraphs of percentages. If your presentations feel like number soup, you’re not alone.
Learn how to see the story beyond the numbers and turn your everything-but-the-kitchen-sink presentations into enrapturing, exciting stories.
This workshop teaches participants how to cut through the noise and elevate their message by applying storytelling principles to data. Through exercises and real examples, learners will discover how to isolate what matters, clarify the message behind the metrics, and use structure, visuals, and metaphor to turn even dry stats into stories that move people.
It’s not about dumbing things down—it’s about making smart things stick. There’s a powerful story in all those percentages and fractions and pie charts. Learn how to discover it, uncover it, and let it soar.
