FAQ's

Who is this course for?

• Regardless of your industry, telling stories with data is an invaluable asset to the survival of any organization or professional who wants to have influence and curate strategic insights to make well-informed decisions. Effectively communicating even just a few data points in your next presentation, report or sales pitch will make your message more memorable, persuasive and engaging.

I do not feel comfortable working with numbers and data - is this course for me?

• Absolutely! Most of our students are not statisticians and some have spent their entire lives intimidated by numbers, even the word “data” gives them goosebumps! But this course meets you where you are and teaches you strategies and techniques to apply data stories to even the most novice professional.

Is there a market demand for data stories?

• Now more than ever, decision-makers are demanding data-driven decisions to identify the best approach, idea, program or strategy to direct limited resources. Data storytelling gives you the power to do just that by connecting the dots to make meaning of what the data is saying and provide insights to inform action. Data storytelling is becoming increasingly popular because it is one of the few guaranteed ways company leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals and speakers can influence, curate insights and inspire action!

Will this course use statistical software?

• No. Are you familiar with Microsoft Office suite? If yes, then that’s all you need to know. You will learn some data visualization techniques you can create in PowerPoint but to learn more in depth data visualization techniques, open enrollment for our Level II Masterclass: “How to Tell your Story with Data Visualization" begins January 2022.

I am an advanced statistician, is this course for me?

• Gone are the days of simply spitting out statistics and numbers. Rather, to curate strategic insights from data you have to understand what the data is saying and present it in an easy way to influence the decision-making of others’. Without stories to provide context to the data, the message often gets lost in the numbers on a spreadsheet or a poorly designed data visual. So yes, this course is for you too!
