Data Storytelling

Transforms spreadsheets and analytics into executive-ready narratives using proven storytelling frameworks like problem-solution and trend analysis. Structures data presentations with setup-conflict-resolution arcs, provides annotation techniques for charts, and includes templates for board decks and stakeholder reports. Best for quarterly reviews, investor pitches, and convincing non-technical audiences to act on insights. The three-pillar approach (data, narrative, visuals) works well, though the frameworks can feel formulaic if you're naturally good at storytelling. Solid for anyone who stares at great data but struggles to make it compelling.
