Data Storytelling for Professionals

About Course

Data storytelling connects evidence with a decision people need to make. Learn to identify the main message, select meaningful comparisons, and present charts with appropriate context. This course focuses on explaining findings responsibly, including uncertainty and alternative interpretations, rather than making data seem more conclusive than it is.

Follow a beginner-friendly path through five modules and 15 lesson outlines. Each lesson identifies three focused study topics, helping you connect the ideas to practical decisions in your own setting.

Course Project: Build a five-slide data story from a sample report, including the decision question, findings, limitations, and proposed next step.
