Make Your Numbers Talk, Day 1: Overview and the Basics

Monday, March 13, 2017

10:30 a.m. Mountain time (MT)

Program Description

For every consulting professional, communicating effectively is critical, and numbers are often the most important information you’re communicating. Moreover, you may well be communicating to an audience that’s diverse, busy, sometimes unskilled, and sometimes hostile. Just like words, your numbers tell a story. This five-day webinar series offers a completely different perspective on the process of telling that story—one that will help you communicate your most important information more clearly and effectively.

This webinar introduces the central premise of this week: that presenting numerical information is a communication skill, not a math, or computation skill. Before we take a deep dive into the subtleties of presenting numbers, we touch on the basics of what this means in practice as you present your numbers. Topics include using the Arabic numeral system to your advantage, why the looks of your information are so important, and making your words interact smoothly and effectively with your numbers.

Attendees will also receive suitable-for-framing copies of (a) “The Art of Quantation,”—the practices that will ensure effective numbers presentation (the “thou shalts”)—and (b) “The Deadly Sins of Quantation” (the “thou shalt nots”).
