Turn data-driven insights into powerful narratives or stories that would grab the attention of all stakeholders and compel them to listen.

Easier said than done.

What does this really mean? When I am presenting to a C-level audience, I rely on my 30+ years of global corporate experience, spanning the globe and across a diverse set of industries and clients. So when I am talking, the audience listens and what I say and how I say it changes from audience to audience because I have also been that Audience before.

Far too many people just throw out, "Be a Good Data Story Teller", "Make sure your Data Visualisations are great", etc. without really providing any meat. That is probably because they lack the depth or breadth or rather the skills and capabilities. It's one thing to take a course on PowerBI and then turn around and teach PowerBI to others. It's a totally different thing to be solving real-world problems.

This is where Business Acumen and Domain Experience come in.
