When you are trying to craft a narrative, tell a story to help someone see a certain point of view, or simply trying to influence someone to go along with your proposal, using data can help your audience see your point.

This session will cover tips for putting together your story whether it is delivered via email, a presentation, a written report, or even informally in an elevator pitch.
