About this listen

Don't simply show your data - tell a story with it!

Storytelling with Data teaches you the fundamentals of data visualization and how to communicate effectively with data. You'll discover the power of storytelling and the way to make data a pivotal point in your story. The lessons in this illuminative text are grounded in theory but made accessible through numerous real-world examples - ready for immediate application to your next graph or presentation.

Storytelling is not an inherent skill, especially when it comes to data visualization, and the tools at our disposal don't make it any easier. This book demonstrates how to go beyond conventional tools to reach the root of your data and how to use your data to create an engaging, informative, compelling story. Specifically, you'll learn how to:

  • Understand the importance of context and audience
  • Determine the appropriate type of graph for your situation
  • Recognize and eliminate the clutter clouding your information
  • Direct your audience's attention to the most important parts of your data
  • Think like a designer and utilize concepts of design in data visualization
  • Leverage the power of storytelling to help your message resonate with your audience

Together, the lessons in this book will help you turn your data into high-impact visual stories that stick with your audience. Rid your world of ineffective graphs, one exploding 3D pie chart at a time. There is a story in your data - Storytelling with Data will give you the skills and power to tell it!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Simply amazing

A must read for finance professionals. We are generally caught up in the minute details and forget what is expected out of us. Presenting the data with the end goal in mind and presenting it well would be a game changer for us all.

Paradigm shift to the way I used to visualise Data

This book is crisp, to the point and superlative narration by the author. It explains lot of things using data visualisation graphs and hence it depends a lot on the 93 page pdf accompanied with this book. Reading a physical or colour soft copy of the book might have been a better option but it might have missed the convincing voice of the author.

Bottom line is that it has changed the way I used to look at the visualisation and presentation of the data. The book opens a portal to represent the data in an interesting story telling way from the point of view of the audience. Thanking the Author for creating this book.
