Storytelling for Business Presentations

<div>Data is one of the most valuable assets a business can own, but it's meaningless in its raw form. That's why the Data &amp; Analytics industry is worth hundreds of billions of dollars: to turn data into insights. And in the age of AI, this process is easier and faster than ever.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 1rem;">But insights by themselves can also be meaningless. Their value comes from impacting real-world decisions. The problem is that bridging this gap requires a completely different, softer set of skills. Even if you've never heard of "death by PowerPoint", you've probably felt it - sitting through a presentation that struggles to draw your attention, let alone motivate you. And there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for that. Humans aren't motivated by facts, we're motivated by emotions. How do we tap into those emotions? Stories.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 1rem;">In this course, you'll learn how to apply storytelling principles in business presentations to influence stakeholders and turn insights into action. We'll provide a clear, repeatable framework you can follow to define the purpose of your presentation, understand the audience, build the story, prepare the materials, and deliver the presentation. And you'll be able to practice applying those skills through a custom, case-study-style project.</span></div><div><br></div><div>COURSE OUTLINE:</div><div><ul><li><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Why Storytelling? -&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Outline why story-driven presentations are such a powerful form of communication, and a skill everyone should focus on improving</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Define the Purpose -&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Identify the main idea that will drive your presentation, the problem it solves, and the action the audience will need to take to solve it</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Understand the Audience -&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Build empathy with the audience by defining what they are like, allowing you to connect with them and have your message resonate</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Build the Story -&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Frame your message as a story by combining data and emotions, and tailor it to your audience to keep them engaged and motivated to act</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Prepare the Materials -&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Bring your story to life by building the slides that will support and facilitate your presentation (but they won’t deliver it – you will!)</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Deliver the Presentation -&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Plan and practice the delivery of your presentation until you look, feel, and sound confident – then go out and crush it!</span></li></ul></div><div><br></div><div>Ready to dive in?
