storytelling with data: #38 hi, my name is...

Being able to introduce yourself eloquently and in a way that captures and keeps your intended audience’s attention and is a hugely important thing. Yet, we don’t commonly devote a lot of time or thought to planning how we do this. In this episode, Cole shares the process that she and the storytelling with data team used to create their intros, plus shares the steps you can use to form your own inspirational introduction. She also addresses listener questions on dot plots, the audience constraint, and tips for slowing down when presenting.
