119: The Secret to Storytelling and Data: One. Many. Stat.

Are you ready to unlock the secret of storytelling and data? If you are, I'm ready to share it with you so you can finally learn how to use data to tell a powerful story and how to tell a story that leverages the right data. In this episode, I'm sharing with you the two reframes that have absolutely transformed the way I think about data and storytelling.  These are reframes I now share with leaders because they change everything about how you show up in front of a room. You'll hear why you are the storyteller (yes, you, not your slides, not your deck, not your one-pager), and why your real job isn't dumping numbers but bringing insights. I'm also sharing a powerful analogy that will help you rethink data completely, and you'll learn the simple storytelling with data pattern I call One. Many. Stat. I'm also sharing a personal example from my childhood of how to use One. Many. Stat.  This is the way I've seen data used most effectively, and once you learn it, you'll start seeing it everywhere. In this episode, you'll learn: How to transform raw data into meaningful insights How to avoid "data dumping" and step into your role as the insight-bringer Why PowerPoint is not a story (and never will be!) How journalists and great communicators weave story and data together How to choose the right data by uncovering the human story behind the statistic How to use the One. Many. Stat. framework to bring your audience into the meaning behind your numbers If you're tired of watching people glaze over when you present your data, then this episode is for you.
