💭 Turn Data and AI Into Stories People Actually Remember

Bad story kills great analysis. Every single time!

You work hard...
You pull the data. You know when it is being misread or ignored and it quietly drives you crazy...

At some point you watched a decision get made on gut feel while your analysis sat in a deck nobody opened. You've presented findings that were met with "interesting" and then.... nothing.

No action. No change. That silence is not a data problem. It's a 'story problem'.

The people who move organizations forward aren't always the most technically skilled. They're the ones who can take a complex finding and make a room full of non-technical people feel the urgency of it.

That skill is Data Storytelling.

Most storytelling courses teach you to speak more confidently. Most data courses teach you another tool. This workshop sits in the gap between them — where your actual influence lives.

You'll leave with a framework of to influence people with Data and AI.

Attention isn’t won by tools, it’s earned through stories.

    Workshop agenda

    • Class 1: Intro, The Power of Stories

      Before charts, we start with story. You'll learn the one sequence that makes data land emotionally: personal hook first, zoom in on one person, then bring the data. Feeling comes before facts.

    • Class 2: Visual Inspiration & Deconstruction

      Build a visual vocabulary beyond default charts. Live critique of your first story, a tour of the best inspiration sources, and when breaking convention helps your story — or kills it.

    • Class 3 : The Framework of Data Storytelling

      One dataset, three completely different stories. Learn how framing and sequencing change everything, run a live AI workflow, and leave with your capstone direction locked in.

    • Class 4: Studio Session: Final Critique

      Every student presents live. Structured feedback on narrative, visuals, and impact. Leave with a portfolio-ready capstone, a self-critique checklist, and a 30-day practice plan.
