Telling a story about your analytical work is never easy. You have worked hard gathering data, analyzing it, and building models to make predictions. Now you are asked present to an executive that doesn't really understand your work. How should you structure your presentation? What tips are there for improving your chances of getting your message across. This workshop will walk through methods to improve the clarity in your message and improve the chances of the audience walking away with your key points. From structuring your presentation to the details of what to include and not include in your visualizations, you’ll be asked to rework data, build better visualizations, have the right slide titles, and put a short presentation together. This workshop will focus on presenting in a corporate environment and in environments with a non-expert audience. While not focused on academic work where every detail of your method is important, the tips and techniques discussed can help improve your conference presentations and classroom materials.
