You will learn how to improve the graphs you use to communicate, and will get instruction and hands-on experience applying data storytelling strategies to real-world examples.

How you'll learn

You’ll gain knowledge from Cole and members of the SWD team through a mix of presentation delivery, individual and small group exercises, and expertly facilitated discussion.

Learning possibilities extend into breaks, lunch, and social hour, when you can connect individually with the SWD team and fellow participants.

Just to desire to understand what makes data compelling for an audience, and how to turn it into a powerful story that drives an audience to take action.

Former Chief HR Officer

“In Storytelling with Data, Cole Nussbaumer has created an of-the-moment complement to the work of data visualization pioneers like Edward Tufte.

"She’s worked at - and with - some of the most data-driven organizations on the planet, as well as some of the most mission-driven, data-free institutions. In both cases, she’s helped sharpen their messages, and their thinking.”

-- Laszlo Bock

"The content as whole was exactly what I wanted from the day. I enjoyed that it was a 'no laptop' course, as this takes away a lot of distraction and enables more focus on the course and its contents and message."

Previous masterclass attendee feedback

"The whole session was full of practical examples, highly applicable for my business life. It was absolutely worth the trip and investment! Can't wait to work on my next presentation!"

"Cole’s energy and insights lit up the room. Such clarity of thought and easy-to-understand concepts. She makes it look easy, but only because she has put so much hard work and thought into her ideas."
