In this workshop, participants learn about the importance of data visualisation as a powerful tool for communicating insights clearly and convincingly. The session is entirely practical and uses concrete business examples to discover the most important dos and don'ts of effective data visualisation step by step.
Participants learn how to remove unnecessary clutter from a graph, which graph is most suitable for a particular type of problem, and how simple visual techniques can be used to attract and direct the audience's attention. The aim of the workshop is for participants to learn how to transform cluttered and descriptive graphs into clear, convincing and explanatory visualisations.
The principles taught are practical and can be used in any data visualisation software tool (Excel, Power BI, Tableau, etc.).
By the end, you will be able to:
• Convert graphs into clear and convincing visualisations.
• Choose the right graph for a specific type of problem.

Speaking as a data expert
​
Many speakers struggle with the same thing: how do you make figures interesting without losing your audience?
During the workshop “Speaking as a Data Expert”, you will gain a keen insight into what often goes wrong and how it can be done better. You will learn how to structure your story clearly, how to make key messages stick and how to engage your audience – even if they are not specialists.
We will pay a lot of attention to voice use, body language and interaction, because you are more important than the slides. Don't expect a dry training session, but an energetic mix of insights, humour and practice. You will go home with fresh insights and practical tools that will immediately take your next presentation or report to the next level.
Afterwards, you will know how to not only inform, but also convince as an expert.
You will present with greater clarity, persuasiveness and impact – in a way that feels natural and really touches your audience.

The workshop will be given by Véronique Hoex, Communication Coach, who has been coaching novice and experienced speakers for over 15 years.
