Turn Data into Compelling Visual Presentations
The use of data can be helpful to communicate messages to others but sometimes the main message can be lost or an audience can disengage. This course provides practical tips on sifting and using data in such a way to support the main message in a clear, succinct way.
1 Day
Overview
Data loses its power if it can’t be communicated in meaningful ways to others. Too often, the volume of information clouds the message and audiences disconnect, disengage or block out the results. This course combines PowerPoint and presentation skills to provide practical advice on sifting data, identifying the key message and presenting it in a format that everyone can understand. The result will significantly improve the communication and ability to take action.
Who will benefit
Technical professionals, analysts, scientists and others working in data rich environments who are required to present their data and persuade others using their findings and analysis.
