In September “Data Story” from Nancy Duarte became available for pre-order. Data storytelling book from the guru of slides and presentations!!!
I couldn’t wait.
In December it arrived to me from Amazon. New. With the paper smell of the unread pages. I jumped right into it.
Usually at my “Storytelling with Business Data” workshops audience splits into pie-chart-lovers (hopefully minority) and pie-chart-haters (hopefully majority). But it is hard to find a single person in the audience, who has never created a pie chart.
Pie chart is probably one of the most overused charts in data visualization history.
New job. New office. New team.
Eight years ago, I joined FP&A department of a large corporation. A lot of water under that bridge. But I remember this day as yesterday.
And here is why.
I was meeting my friend and mentee Jan for a beer.
He was late.
I was worried.
Today he had his first presentation to management after he joined FP&A department in XXX corporation.
