Data storytelling training
Harness the power of data storytelling to communicate insights effectively
Employ data storytelling techniques to distill key insights from data and shape them into clear, actionable recommendations that speed up decision-making processes. Master the art of transforming complex data points into compelling stories that drive action.
The vital role of data storytelling in today’s business landscape
Data-related roles are the third fastest growing occupation according to research from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Yet, hiring data-savvy employees doesn’t always translate into results.
The missing link? The ability to communicate data effectively and turn raw data into actionable insights.
Our Duarte DataStory® training teaches a research-based methodology for explaining data in a way that moves people to action. This isn’t just about data analysis or data visualization – it’s about mastering presentation skills to deliver persuasive data communication.

One of the best workshops I have ever done, and the presenter never had me wishing I was somewhere else! Great course.
Before this workshop I knew I needed to improve my storytelling skills, but didn’t know how to do it other than trial and error. But now I have real steps to take and feel like I took leaps ahead in my presentation muscles.
This workshop was an excellent use of time! It helped me move beyond some common myths with presentations, as well as added techniques to make presentations more impactful, which can be implemented immediately.
The workshop gave me great tools to structure information when I need executive decisions. I have immediate scenarios where I will use what I learned for more effective communication with our company’s leaders.
The workshop helped me get over the overwhelming thought of having to present a ‘data-backed’ story. I now have a starting place and will definitely reference the templates, frameworks, and workbook over and over again.
This changed the way I think about how to approach presenting data to my stakeholders. I am certain this will now significantly reduce misunderstandings, misalignment, and misinterpreting data.
After this training, I feel more confident in speaking with executives in our organization as well as broad stakeholders.
Presentations have to be clear and persuasive, but I never knew exactly how to do that until I took this workshop. Now I can make better presentations by following the steps Duarte has outlined in their workbook.
I am so glad that my company invested time and money to send us to DataStory. We brought integrated teams together for the class. The content and facilitation was awesome!
Even after doing presentations for 25+ years, I learned a tremendous amount about how to organize and present data. This class was invaluable!
I wish I had had the benefit of this course early in my career. This is a key presentation building block and is invaluable for helping you to create compelling presentations and messages that will connect with your audience.
The DataStory workshop has given me concrete frameworks, methods, and practical tips to improve my storytelling and to communicate my ideas better.
