The Sage Sayers: Adding Story and Narrative to Numbers
from The Sage Sayers · host Debbi Gardiner McCullough
If leaders have prodded you to add story to otherwise dry and stodgy data and topics, you’re not alone! Many communicators I coach hear this feedback when doing dry-runs on high-stakes presentations and within performance reviews, too. But how do we tell story around numbers? This becomes our theme for this week’s Medium post, which you can find here, and which I read and add to in this week's Sage Sayers podcast. We have tackled data and storytelling in the past with a delightful interview with Godswill Mhlanga, a finance expert who must make the numbers sound engaging all the time. You can find our interview here. Connect with me, Coach Debbi McCullough, about your group's communication challenges via my LinkedIn profile and website. I'm open for hosting training workshops or group coaching geared towards building confidence, courage, and clarity in our written and spoken word. I'm all about us becoming braver communicators.
