Making Over your Data Visualizations into Powerful Stories with Mike Cisneros from Storytelling with Data
About this episode
What makes a chart forgettable and what turns it into a story people act on?
In this episode I sit down with Mike Cisneros, co-author of Storytelling with Data: Before and After, to discuss the art of transforming data visuals into powerful communication tools.
We’ll dive into:
- The subtle cues that signal a bad chart
- How design choices influence leadership decisions
- Why starting with a suggestion can build more trust
- The impact of AI on the future of data storytelling
If you work with data or present it, then this conversation will sharpen how you show and share your insights.
