Effective Data Storytelling
Learn the fundamentals and frameworks so you can create great data stories.
Storytelling is the beating heart of effective communication. Without a good story your data is just a loose collection of tables and graphs, hard to get into and even harder to remember.
In this highly practical live course you'll learn:
- Fundamental storytelling concepts, considerations, and tools.
- A set of four different frameworks you can use to develop engaging data stories.
- How to choose the right storytelling product to deliver your data story.
- Strategies for illustrating your data stories.
Registration in this self-paced course includes:
- Forever Access!
- A set of storytelling process worksheets.
- A set of storytelling product Canva templates.
- One year of office hours with Chris Lysy (a $250 value).
- Access to Creativity Toolkit Mini-Sessions - Upcoming topics include - Single Panel Comics, Icon Arrays & Pictograms, Simple Maps, Timelines, Annotated Charts, Before & Afters (exclusive to workshop participants).
Hybrid structure:
- The self-paced recorded lessons can be accessed at anytime.
- This workshop will be taught live every few months (the next live session is tentatively scheduled for August 2024).
- Purchasing a workshop gives you the flexibility to take the self-paced version AND/OR attend any future live session.
- You can even attend the workshop more than once!

Frequently Asked Questions
When does the course start and finish?
This course is hybrid and always open. You can join today and access the self-paced lessons immediately.
Live sessions are scheduled approximately every three months.
How long do I have access to the course?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own.
What if I miss a class?
All course lessons are available in a self-paced format. With a purchase, you also receive access to office hours for a year (where you can ask specific questions).
What technology will you be teaching?
I teach my design courses using Canva. This will give you the chance to design alongside myself through the use of shared templates.
But all the lessons will still apply whether you plan to design in Canva, PowerPoint, Google Slides, Adobe InDesign, or with any other design tool.
What if I have never used Canva?
Purchase also includes access to a self-paced Canva jumpstart course. If you have never used Canva I suggest giving it a quick run through. If you are short on time, just complete the first 20 minute Getting Started section.
