Bring your data to life and tell stories your audience will remember. This interactive 2.5-hour virtual workshop will show you how to transform raw numbers and research into visuals that are clear, compelling, and impossible to ignore.

Through practical examples and expert instruction, you'll learn:

  • How to design charts and maps that capture attention and inspire action
  • Storytelling techniques that make data memorable
  • How to choose colors for impact, clarity, and accessibility
  • Ways to make your visuals resonate with diverse audiences
  • Best practices for ensuring your data is both accurate and engaging

BONUS CONTENT! In addition to the live, interactive workshop all attendees will receive take-home exercises to practice your newly learned skills. You'll get step-by-step lessons for building better charts with Excel. I'm also including a handy checklist to ensure your charts hit all the right marks for effective insights. 

Whether you’re a researcher, project manager, communicator, or student, you’ll leave with skills you can apply immediately to presentations, reports, dashboards, and more.

  • Brianne G.

    "Probably one of the best Data Visualization presentations I have seen."

  • Ellie D.
