plan, create, and deliver your data story | 8-week online course | late 2024

All seats for this running of the course have now been claimed, but you can register for the January 2025 session here.

Do you want to dedicate more time to developing your skills and grow your network of fellow data enthusiasts? Join our 8-week online course and unleash your creative potential for crafting compelling narratives. 

We’ll take you through the world of storytelling with data, curating a multi-media learning journey anchored in core SWD lessons that are expanded upon and explored through weekly lectures, reading, videos, podcasts, exercises, and a course project. We’ll teach you a repeatable process to plan your data story, distill the critical components, create effective graphs, slides, and presentations, and communicate it all in a way that gets your audience’s attention, builds understanding, and drives action.

Participants will receive two books written by best-selling author Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic: storytelling with data: let’s practice! and storytelling with you: plan, create, and deliver a stellar presentation; as well as 6 months of premium access to the online SWD community beginning at the onset of the course.

This session of the course will run from Monday, September 23, 2024 to Sunday, November 17, 2024. There will be live lectures on Mondays from 11AM–12PM ET (recordings will be shared), as well as weekly office hours on Thursdays and Fridays held by data storytellers based in the US and UK, so we can have options that work for everyone around the world. (Specific days and times will vary week to week to accommodate participant timezones when possible.)
